(Oh, Hallelujah)
(Lord, hold us in Your arms)
Ever since we lost our Daddy, the world felt cold and grey
Everything became a burden, Lord, we didn't know the way
But You whispered in the silence, You spoke unto our pain
"I am a Father to the fatherless," You promised to remain
You gave us Mama Sabina Francis to guide us through the night
To hold our trembling hands until we find the morning light
Yes Lord, thank You for her strength, for the love that keeps us near
Even when the valley’s dark, You cast away our fear
Oh, the Akabueze family, standing together as one
Underneath the shadow of the Father, until the work is done
We are bound by blood and spirit, by the grace that we have known
Walking through the fire, but we never walk alone
Yes Lord, we stand as one, united in Your name
One heart, one Akabueze, through the glory and the pain
Ifeanyi Chukwu John, the first son of the house
You are the pillar, stand strong, let your spirit never douse
Monday Chetachi, carry the weight with God’s own mighty hand
He will strengthen your shoulders to help the family stand
Hygenus Chiboke, and Sunday Junior, our last born light
You bring the laughter back and keep the future burning bright
Every hand and every heart, let’s join them in the prayer
Because blood is blood, and God is our cover everywhere
Oh, the Akabueze family, standing together as one
Underneath the shadow of the Father, until the work is done
We are bound by blood and spirit, by the grace that we have known
Walking through the fire, but we never walk alone
Yes Lord, we stand as one, united in Your name
One heart, one Akabueze, through the glory and the pain
Though the void is heavy, and the missing chair is deep
We trust in Him who promises His children He will keep
(Praise Him, praise Him)
No matter how the storm may blow, our foundation is the Rock
We are the Akabueze line, a sturdy, faithful flock
(Amen, amen)
So mama, keep on praying, and brothers, keep the flame
We honor Francis Akabueze every time we speak his name
In every joy and sorrow, in the laughter and the plea
We are one unbreakable, beautiful family tree
(Glory, glory)
Oh, the Akabueze family, standing together as one
Underneath the shadow of the Father, until the work is done
We are bound by blood and spirit, by the grace that we have known
Walking through the fire, but we never walk alone
Yes Lord, we stand as one, united in Your name
One heart, one Akabueze, through the glory and the pain
We stand as one, the Akabueze name
Held in the palm of God, forever and the same
(Thank You Jesus)
Together as one, in the house of the Lord
Amen.
