Father's Promise to Malekani Peter (Remix)

[male vocals] Oh,

heaven

hear

my

cry

today

I

remember

the

words

you

used

to

say

My

father,

you

walked

with

grace

through

the

fire

You

taught

me

to

build,

to

never

let

the

flame

expire

Even

when

the

world

turned

cold

and

faces

turned

away

You

whispered,

'Child,

stay

by

your

family,

come

what

may'

Though

relatives

spoke

words

that

cut

like

a

blade

Your

strength

was

the

foundation

on

which

we

stayed

Yes

Lord,

you

were

the

light

in

the

dark

And

I

carry

the

embers

from

your

holy

spark

For

Malekani

Peter,

I

sing

this

song

Your

guidance

keeps

me

where

I

belong

To

stand

for

my

kin,

though

the

road

be

long

With

the

spirit

of

faith,

I

am

staying

strong

Oh,

glory

to

the

King

for

the

life

you

led

I’

m

walking

the

path

of

the

words

you

said

I

keep

the

promise,

I

hold

to

the

vow

Mr.

Tutu

Nkulu,

I

see

you

now

Brother

Monga,

stand

tall

in

the

rain

Ilunga

Fred,

let

the

love

wash

away

the

pain

Mary

Ngoy,

Esther,

and

Jackrine

Monga

You

are

the

blood,

the

bond

growing

stronger

Habraham,

stand

firm

in

the

grace

we

know

Mpundu

Emmanuel,

watch

how

the

blessings

flow

For

Malekani

Peter,

I

sing

this

song

Your

guidance

keeps

me

where

I

belong

To

stand

for

my

kin,

though

the

road

be

long

With

the

spirit

of

faith,

I

am

staying

strong

Oh,

glory

to

the

King

for

the

life

you

led

I’

m

walking

the

path

of

the

words

you

said

I

will

guard

them

with

a

shield

of

prayer

When

evil

knocks,

I

will

be

standing

there

No

weapon

formed,

no

wicked

design

Can

break

the

cord

of

this

bloodline

Thank

You

Jesus,

for

the

strength

to

defend

This

family

legacy

until

the

end

Your

sacrifice

is

the

seed

that

we

sow

In

the

valley

of

grief,

your

love

starts

to

grow

We

will

not

falter,

we

will

not

bend

For

you

were

our

father,

our

guide,

and

our

friend

Yes

Lord,

we

hold

to

the

truths

you

revealed

By

your

wisdom,

our

hearts

are

truly

healed

For

Malekani

Peter,

I

sing

this

song

Your

guidance

keeps

me

where

I

belong

To

stand

for

my

kin,

though

the

road

be

long

With

the

spirit

of

faith,

I

am

staying

strong

Oh,

glory

to

the

King

for

the

life

you

led

I’

m

walking

the

path

of

the

words

you

said

I

remember

your

words,

Malekani

Peter

Praise

Him,

for

the

love

was

sweeter

Amen,

we

stay

together

In

Your

grace,

forever

Thank

You

Jesus.
