(Sustained piano chords)
I remember the silence
The day my world changed
Lord, show me the way
I was at Mungwi Technical, just a boy in grade eleven
When my father passed, it felt like the closing of the heavens
The suffering started there, the weight of the unknown
I looked to family, but I was standing all alone
My father’s side, they went mute, they turned away
Left me in the valley, with no words to say
Yes Lord, I remember the cold of that night
B.C. awakening, rising from the floor
I’m not looking back at the closed door anymore
When the help didn't come, You were the stranger in disguise
Grace found me waiting beneath the northern skies
Yes Lord, thank You Jesus, You held my hand
I thought the school ending would bring the light of day
But the society I faced pushed the hope away
I called my uncle, hoping for a brother's hand
But the phone just rang in a silent land
Then the girl I loved, she walked out the door
Leaving me broken, lying on the floor
But that was the turning point, that was the sign
B.C. awakening, rising from the floor
I’m not looking back at the closed door anymore
When the help didn't come, You were the stranger in disguise
Grace found me waiting beneath the northern skies
Glory, praise Him, You held my hand
I leaned on man and they let me fall
But I heard You whisper through it all
I learned to walk alone with You
Making the old things pass, making all things new
Never give up, the fire is burning bright
I’m stepping out of the shadows into Your light
It was a stranger who became my kin
Showing me where the real blessings begin
Now I stand stronger, with my eyes on the goal
Healing the ache deep inside of my soul
I don't depend on the ones who went mute
I’m bearing the harvest, I’m bearing the fruit
Amen, thank You Jesus
B.C. awakening, rising from the floor
I’m not looking back at the closed door anymore
When the help didn't come, You were the stranger in disguise
Grace found me waiting beneath the northern skies
Yes Lord, praise Him
I remember the beginning
But I’m looking at the end
You are my father, my Brother, my Friend
Never give up, never give up
Glory, hallelujah
