Yeah, look.
Straight from the heart, you know?
Big love to Pastor J Sinkala.
We keep it real, we keep it strong.
Listen.
Dear Pastor J Sinkala, let me start with the truth
You been a father figure guiding me since I was a youth
Your presence is a fortress, yeah you strong and you bold
Every word you speak is pure, it’s worth more than gold
I look at how you move, man, you never seem to fold
You show you care in ways that never ever get old
I’m sitting here thinking, trying to find where I belong
Then you pull me close and say, "Son, you’re never alone"
It’s a rhythm in your spirit, yeah a melody deep
Watching over the flock while the city’s asleep.
They ask me how you manage, how you keep that smile
Even when the world is chaotic for a long, long while
Assurance in your eyes that everything is alright
You’re a beacon in the tunnel, shining through the dark night
Yeah, you shine through the dark night
Pastor J, you’re the light, yeah, you shine through the dark night.
I got questions in my mind that I buried away
Why I never see you sad? Why you always okay?
Is it the faith that you carry? Is it the grace that you hold?
You’re a shepherd in the concrete, in the heat and the cold
How you cope with the noise? How you keep on rejoicing?
When the walls close in, I hear your spirit voicing
I never considered all the battles you faced
All the things you survived, all the scars you erased
To me, you’re just Father, the man with the plan
Lifting me up whenever I’m stuck in the sand.
They ask me how you manage, how you keep that smile
Even when the world is chaotic for a long, long while
Assurance in your eyes that everything is alright
You’re a beacon in the tunnel, shining through the dark night
Yeah, you shine through the dark night
Pastor J, you’re the light, yeah, you shine through the dark night.
You came after me when I was lost in my mistakes
Patient with a fool when the world was at stakes
You gave me the guidance, yeah you pointed the way
When I was dead wrong, you had the right thing to say
You’re the anchor in the storm, you’re the steady design
I’m blessed to be under your wing, yeah, this life of mine.
So I’m giving you your flowers while you’re standing right here
Chasing out the shadows, washing away every fear
It’s a drill beat, yeah, but the message is pure
You’re the remedy, Pastor, you’re the lasting cure
Keep moving, keep guiding, keep leading the way
We’re walking in the victory you built for today.
They ask me how you manage, how you keep that smile
Even when the world is chaotic for a long, long while
Assurance in your eyes that everything is alright
You’re a beacon in the tunnel, shining through the dark night
Yeah, you shine through the dark night
Pastor J, you’re the light, yeah, you shine through the dark night.
Yeah, Pastor J Sinkala.
More life, more grace.
Always looking out for the ones who lost their place.
We rise up.
We stay strong.
Big respect.
Final bow.
Yeah.
