MY BLOOD, MY STRENGTH
(A Song of Gratitude to My Mother, Wife, and Siblings)
Verse 1
There was a night so dark and cold,
A chapter of pain I'll never forget,
The world around me seemed to crumble,
And fear became my closest friend.
I cried in silence, I prayed in secret,
Wondering if I'd ever see the light,
But while I was fighting through the shadows,
My family was fighting for my life.
Pre-Chorus
When many walked away,
You refused to leave me alone,
Bound by one blood, one womb, one love,
You carried me when I couldn't stand on my own.
Chorus
Oh my blood, my strength, my family,
You stood by me through the storm,
When kidnappers stole my freedom,
Your prayers brought me home.
Aunty Mary, thank you for your courage,
Aunty Deborah, thank you for your love,
Bro Obi, thank you for your strength and support,
You were angels sent from above.
Aunty Maryam, Aunty Jane,
Pastor Abel and Ene,
You stood together through the darkness,
And never stopped believing in me.
My blood, my strength, my family,
Forever I'll sing your praise,
For standing with me in my darkest hour,
I will love you all my days.
Verse 2
I heard of the tears that filled your eyes,
The sleepless nights and endless calls,
The desperate prayers you lifted to Heaven,
Believing I would not fall.
You carried the burden together,
Refusing to give up on me,
Your faith became my lifeline,
Your love became my victory.
And at the center of the battle,
One voice kept the family strong,
Aunty Queen Samuel, our coordinator,
Holding us together all along.
Pre-Chorus 2
When confusion tried to divide,
You united every hand,
Turning pain into purpose,
Helping our family stand.
Chorus
Oh my blood, my strength, my family,
You stood by me through the storm,
When kidnappers stole my freedom,
Your prayers brought me home.
Bridge
One womb brought us together,
One blood flows through our veins,
No distance, fear, or evil power,
Could ever break our chain.
When I was weak, you became my strength,
When I was lost, you showed me the way,
The love of my brothers and sisters,
Is a gift I'll treasure every day.
Special Tribute
Mama Ajuma Suleman, my precious mother,
Your knees carried the weight of our pain,
You called upon God through every night,
And your prayers were never in vain.
And to my beautiful wife, Queen Elizabeth,
My companion, my comfort, my crown,
When my world was shaken by darkness,
You never let my spirit drown.
You carried hope when I was broken,
You carried faith when I was weak,
Your love became a living testimony,
Of the miracles we seek.
Final Chorus
Oh my blood, my strength, my family,
You stood when the world stood still,
Through every prayer and every battle,
You never stopped believing.
Aunty Mary, Aunty Deborah, Bro Obi,
Aunty Maryam, Aunty Jane, Pastor Abel, Ene,
Aunty Queen Samuel, Mama Ajuma Suleman,
And my beloved Queen Elizabeth—
I carry your love in my heart,
Though the storm tried to destroy me,
It could not tear us apart.
Outro
To my mother...
To my wife...
To my sisters and brother...
Thank you for every prayer,
Every tear,
Every sacrifice,
Every sleepless night.
When darkness came, you became my light.
When I was kidnapped, you fought for me in prayer.
And because of your love...
Because of your unity...
Because of God's mercy...
I am still here today.
