My King, My Rock
(Father's Day Tribute to Edwin Kumwenda)
Verse 1
Three years ago, I watched your heart unfold,
Into a father with a love worth more than gold.
With gentle hands and a quiet strength so true,
Every day, Shemaiah and I are blessed because of you.
You don't always say much, but your actions speak so loud,
In every sacrifice you've made, you've made our family proud.
Kind and loving, faithful through and through,
A husband and a father who is always true.
Chorus
You're my rock when life gets hard,
The steady light that guides us through.
You go to war in prayer for us,
And Heaven knows how much you do.
Kind and loving, soft-spoken too,
A humble man whose heart stays true.
Today I celebrate the father and husband you are,
My King, my love, my shining star.
Verse 2
When I lost my father so suddenly and too soon,
The pain felt overwhelming, like darkness filled the room.
But you stood right beside me and never walked away,
You held me when I was broken and carried me through the pain.
You comforted me through every tear,
And gave me strength when my heart was filled with fear.
You stepped into the void that loss had left behind,
With a love so steady, so selfless, and so kind.
Chorus
You're my rock when life gets hard,
The steady light that guides us through.
You go to war in prayer for us,
And Heaven knows how much you do.
Kind and loving, soft-spoken too,
A humble man whose heart stays true.
Today I celebrate the father and husband you are,
My King, my love, my shining star.
Bridge
I don't say this enough, but thank you from my heart,
For loving us completely right from the very start.
For every prayer you've whispered, every burden that you've borne,
You've shown us what true love looks like and made our house a home.
You've been my rock through every storm,
My safe place when I felt torn apart.
When grief tried to overwhelm me,
You held together the pieces of my heart.
For every prayer, every embrace,
Every moment you stayed by my side,
I will forever be grateful, my King,
For being my strength when I thought I couldn't survive.
Final Chorus
You're our hero, you're our blessing,
A gift sent from above.
The father of our precious Shemaiah,
The husband that I love.
You've kept your promises to us,
Through every season, every year.
Leading our family with faith and grace,
And holding the ones you love so dear.
And as the years keep passing by,
One thing will always be true—
Shemaiah and I will always be grateful,
So proud and so blessed by you.
Happy Father's Day, Edwin.
Thank you for being the husband and father that you are. Thank you for standing in the gap when I lost my dad, for covering our family in prayer, and for loving us so faithfully. We love and appreciate you always, our King. ❤️
