Pachishala (From The Dust)
A song made by OG Daniel
(Aweh) Look at me now
From the ashes to the glory, let's go
The time I was born, things were okay
But at age five, my daddy went away
Life got hard, no food on the table
Mama tried her best, but she wasn’t able
Eish, the road was long and the nights were cold
But a deeper story was yet to be told
Yeesuu mwaatooleele pachishaala
Kanabesa Jehovah, You are good, Your mercies never end mwalikula Daddy
With every breath I have, I will worship You mpakakuupeela
You took me from the garbage and gave me a home
Now I’m a family man, I’m not alone
At twelve they said come, we'll take you to school
But I was cleaning yards, treated like a fool
When I made mistakes, they’d feed me to the dogs
I ran to the streets, sleeping with the cold
No warmth in the city, just the grit on my skin
Wondering where the light of my life would begin
Yeesuu mwaatooleele pachishaala
Kanabesa Jehovah, You are good, Your mercies never end mwalikula Daddy
With every breath I have, I will worship You mpakakuupeela
You took me from the garbage and gave me a home
Now I’m a family man, I’m not alone
Drink dirty water, garbage food, wounds that wouldn’t heal
No shelter, no family, this was all too real
I thought it was over, I was lost in the dark
But God came down and ignited the spark
(Sharp sharp) My story changed, my spirit is free
God saw me on the street, He picked me up
He gave me love, He gave me hope
Now I have a wife, and 3 children by my side
A roof over our heads, and Jesus as our guide
What the enemy meant for evil, God turned around
From ichishala to a home, with praise and a sound
Yeesuu mwaatooleele pachishaala
Kanabesa Jehovah, You are good, Your mercies never end mwalikula Daddy
With every breath I have, I will worship You mpakakuupeela
You took me from the garbage and gave me a home
Now I’m a family man, I’m not alone
Kanabesa... Your mercies never end... mwalikula Daddy
From the dust to the stars, we praise You
Asambe, it’s a new day
Yebo, Hallelujah
(Fade out with deep log drum groove)
