Mmm... aah
Mmm... aah
They left us... but You stayed.
Fatherless... but not fatherless.
Jehovah, You are here.
I was born in a beautiful home
Laughter filled the air
But orphanhood came early
Left me with pain to bear
No father to hold my hand
No luxuries, no best school
Only a widowed mother
Fighting by every rule
Relatives turned away
When the money was gone
Rich families forgot us
Left us to struggle on
But when the world abandoned
When the night was long
Jehovah, You carried me
And my siblings strong
So... so...
You were Father when I had none
Husband to my mother
Widow and son
You saw us, You knew us
You never let go
God of Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Joseph
I know!
Baba wabalanda!
Father of orphans, You are!
Indoda yabafel’ abafazi!
Husband to the widows, You are!
God of Abraham, Jacob, Isaac and Joseph
You never left me
You never left me
I love You, Jehovah
My God, my King
My life is a praise
Let the whole world sing!
Father to the fatherless
I see it now
You turned my ashes
Into a crown!
No silver spoon
No big name
No doors opened wide
But Your grace was my school fees
Your love was my guide
Hunger taught me prayer
Rejection taught me faith
Every closed door pushed me
To Your saving grace
Now I stand
Now I testify
Now my children see
That the God of my mother
Is the God of me
Rich families had wealth
But they had no You
Jehovah, You were all we ever needed
To pull through
When they said “no one cares”
You whispered “I do”
When they said “it’s over”
You said “I’ll see you through”
You are the Father of orphans
The Hope of the weak
The God who runs to the broken
The God that I seek!
Baba wabalanda!
Father of orphans, You are!
Indoda yabafel’ abafazi!
Husband to the widows, You are!
God of Abraham, Jacob, Isaac and Joseph
You lifted me up
You lifted me up
I love You, Jehovah
With all of my heart
From orphan to son
You made me a part!
Father to the to the fatherless
