Watching Over Me (Remix)

(Hallelujah, glory)

I feel you watching from the stars tonight

Mother Chipo, you left when I was two years small

I never heard your voice, I never saw you stand so tall

But the spirit whispers secrets in the quiet of the room

Like a flower in the winter that is destined still to bloom

Yes Lord, I’m seeking wisdom from the ones who’ve gone before

Knocking soft and steady on that golden heaven door

Oh, Mother Chipo, and Grandmother Monica too

I am lifting up my prayers, I am reaching out to you

Help me keep this family, guide my heart and guide my hand

With your blessings from the clouds, help me understand the plan

(Thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus)

Grandmother Monica, your strength is in my blood today

Though you’re resting in the light, show me the righteous way

To hold my family steady when the winds begin to blow

To plant the seeds of love that I am praying for to grow

It’s a heavy burden sometimes, being here while you are there

But I feel your steady presence in the rhythm of my prayer

Oh, Mother Chipo, and Grandmother Monica too

I am lifting up my prayers, I am reaching out to you

Help me keep this family, guide my heart and guide my hand

With your blessings from the clouds, help me understand the plan

I see you in the starlight, I see you in the moon

I’m asking for the wisdom, may it come to me so soon

Guide my path, protect my home, keep the fires burning bright

Lead me through the shadows, lead me safely through the night

(Praise Him, praise Him)

This family is your legacy, a garden you have sown

I’m trying to be worthy of the seeds that you have known

Chipo, mother, Monica, I’m calling on your grace

Let me see the path ahead, let me see your holy face

(Yes Lord, amen)

Oh, Mother Chipo, and Grandmother Monica too

I am lifting up my prayers, I am reaching out to you

Help me keep this family, guide my heart and guide my hand

With your blessings from the clouds, help me understand the plan

I know you’re looking down

Watching over all we do

Chipo and Monica, I’m finding home in you

(Glory, amen)
