(Gentle melodic guitar picking)
Yeah, today is a day of glory
A day of honor, a day of light
Two stars shining in the morning sun
Shammah, Ebenezer, stand up now
Let the rhythm move your soul
Oh, we celebrate you today
Early in the morning the sun is rising bright
To bring a special blessing and a holy light
Two precious gifts given to this family
Growing in grace, for the world to see
Shammah is walking with a steady hand
Ebenezer is standing tall throughout the land
We look at your faces and we see the joy
We are so proud of every single boy
Your laughter is the music in our home
No matter where you go, wherever you roam
Remember the foundation, remember the love
That flows down from the heavens above
Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday to you
Shammah and Ebenezer, the dream is true
We dance in the rhythm of the Congo soul
Seeing you grow makes our hearts feel whole
Oh, happy birthday, may your years be long
With a heart full of courage and a spirit strong
We celebrate the life that you both bring
Let the trumpets blow and let the singers sing
Look at the way the light reflects in your eyes
Determined to reach for the highest prize
Shammah, your kindness is a beautiful sight
Ebenezer, your wisdom is shining so bright
You are the future, you are the gold
A story of greatness that is yet to be told
We pray for your journey, we pray for your peace
May your blessings and favor forever increase
We gather around you with cake and with cheer
Celebrating the milestones of this special year
Let the rhythm keep playing, let the guitar weep
These are the promises that we always keep
Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday to you
Shammah and Ebenezer, the dream is true
We dance in the rhythm of the Congo soul
Seeing you grow makes our hearts feel whole
Oh, happy birthday, may your years be long
With a heart full of courage and a spirit strong
We celebrate the life that you both bring
Let the trumpets blow and let the singers sing
Life is a dance, and you lead the way
On this monumental, beautiful day
Keep your head high, keep your faith deep
For the promises you sow, you surely shall reap
(Guitar solo, melodic and flowing)
Yes, you are our joy, you are our pride
With the love of the family standing by your side
Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday to you
Shammah and Ebenezer, the dream is true
We dance in the rhythm of the Congo soul
Seeing you grow makes our hearts feel whole
Oh, happy birthday, may your years be long
With a heart full of courage and a spirit strong
We celebrate the life that you both bring
Let the trumpets blow and let the singers sing
Shammah and Ebenezer
Shining stars, you are the best
May God bless your birthday
And give your hearts rest
Happy birthday, boys
Yeah, keep dancing to the rhythm
Keep shining your light
