Halleluyah! Praise the Lord!
Oh yes, today we celebrate a daughter of Zion
Deaconess Funke Salahu, let the dance begin!
Fifty years of grace, fifty years of love
Sent down from the Father above
From the morning sun to the midnight cry
God has kept you, He’s the reason why
Your heart is pure, your service is true
Everything you do shows the light in you
Deaconess Funke, we celebrate your day
In this golden jubilee, we bow and pray.
Oh, Deaconess Funke Salahu, you are shining bright
Walking in the power of His holy light
Fifty golden years, look at what the Lord has done
Victory is yours, victory is won
You too much, Papa, You too much indeed
You fulfill every promise and You meet every need
We celebrate your golden jubilee today
Funke Salahu, let the people say hooray!
From the prayer mountain to the Sunday floor
You have opened up the heavens' door
Your hands are open to give and to heal
With a spirit that is strong, a heart that is real
No weapon formed against you shall ever stand
Because you’re held by the Master’s hand
Funke, your testimony is written in gold
A story of faithfulness, brave and bold.
Oh, Deaconess Funke Salahu, you are shining bright
Walking in the power of His holy light
Fifty golden years, look at what the Lord has done
Victory is yours, victory is won
You too much, Papa, You too much indeed
You fulfill every promise and You meet every need
We celebrate your golden jubilee today
Funke Salahu, let the people say hooray!
Glory, glory, glory to the King of Kings
See the joy that this golden season brings
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same
We magnify the Lord and we honor your name
Funke Salahu, God has blessed your life
Through the peace and through the strife
He’s the Rock, He’s the Way, He’s the One we praise
Adding many more to your beautiful days!
So let the drums sound and the cymbals ring
Join the choir as we lift our voice and sing
For a woman of faith, for a mother so kind
A legacy of grace is what you leave behind
Fifty years is just the start of the race
May you continue to dwell in His presence and grace
Deaconess, we love you, we celebrate your soul
God is in control, He has made you whole!
Oh, Deaconess Funke Salahu, you are shining bright
Walking in the power of His holy light
Fifty golden years, look at what the Lord has done
Victory is yours, victory is won
You too much, Papa, You too much indeed
You fulfill every promise and You meet every need
We celebrate your golden jubilee today
Funke Salahu, let the people say hooray!
Funke Salahu, keep shining bright
Fifty years, what a beautiful sight
Halleluyah! Glory to God!
We celebrate you today, Deaconess.
Amen, and amen!
