“Brother, Father, Friend”
(Appreciation Song Lyrics – Afro-Gospel / Contemporary Praise Style)
Verse 1
From the house of Ezekiel and Felicia came a shining light,
A man of grace and honor, always standing for the right.
You carried us with wisdom when the road was rough and long,
You became our strength and shelter, teaching us to stay strong.
You never turned your back on family in times of pain,
Through every storm and struggle, your love remained the same.
A brother by relation, but a father deep inside,
A vessel sent from heaven with compassion as your guide.
Chorus
Brother, father, friend indeed,
You are the answer to many needs.
A lover of God, faithful and true,
Heaven keeps smiling because of you.
For Oluwatunmise, Adedunmola too,
Samuel and Adesewa are blessed through you.
Your labor of love will never go in vain,
God will reward every sacrifice and pain.
Verse 2
You lead your home with kindness and the fear of God above,
Teaching every child the beauty of genuine love.
Your friends can testify of your generous heart,
You bring healing and encouragement everywhere you are.
A devoted Christian, standing firm in grace,
You reflect the light of Christ in every step you take.
Many lives are better because you chose to care,
You carry people’s burdens through every heartfelt prayer.
Bridge
May your days be filled with favor,
May your strength never run dry,
May the God you serve so faithfully
Lift you higher and higher.
Your children shall prosper,
Your household shall stand tall,
And generations yet unborn
Will rise to call you blessed by all.
Final Chorus
Brother, father, mentor rare,
A precious soul beyond compare.
The love you give returns to you,
In overflowing blessings too.
From the family of Adeniyi we sing with grateful hearts today,
For the man who stood beside us and never walked away.
May joy and peace surround your life forevermore,
And may the angels sing for you before the throne of God.
