Today is not only our wedding...
Today is your victory too...
Mama...
Papa...
You never gave up on me...
Jehovah...
Thank You...
VERSE 1
Before I learned to walk,
You carried me with love.
Before I learned to speak,
You spoke blessings from above.
You worked through the sunshine,
You worked through the rain.
You carried all the burden,
So I could dream again.
Sometimes there was no money,
Sometimes there was no food.
But somehow by God's mercy,
You never lost your hope.
PRE-CHORUS
You gave your best...
When life gave you less.
You smiled through the tears,
You conquered your fears.
Now Heaven has rewarded you today...
CHORUS (Big Afrobeat Celebration)
Mama...
Papa...
Thank you!
Because of your sacrifice,
Today we wear white!
Because of your prayers,
Today our love shines bright!
Dance with us!
Celebrate with us!
God has been faithful!
Today your labour has not been in vain!
Everybody sing!
Thank You!
Thank You!
Mama and Papa...
We honour you today!
VERSE 2
You wore old clothes,
So I could wear new dreams.
You missed your comfort,
So I could become complete.
You stood in the fire,
You stood in the storm.
You fought every battle,
To keep our family warm.
Even when people laughed,
You kept believing in me.
Today the Lord has answered,
For the whole world to see.
AMAPIANO BUILD-UP
Who did it?
Jesus!
Who made a way?
Jesus!
Who carried our family?
Jesus!
Who turned pain into dancing?
Jesus!
DROP (Amapiano Log Drums)
Ohhhhh!
Today we celebrate!
Mama...
Dance!
Papa...
Dance!
Your prayers have won!
Your tears have become joy!
Your waiting has become testimony!
Dance!
Dance!
Dance!
VERSE 3 (To God)
Lord...
Thank You for keeping my parents alive.
Many wished to see this day,
But never made it.
Many planted,
But never harvested.
Today...
My father is smiling.
My mother is dancing.
What a faithful God You are!
BRIDGE (Emotional)
Thank You, Lord...
That they are here.
Watching us exchange our vows.
Holding our hands.
Blessing our future.
This is not just our wedding...
It is the reward of faithful parents.
May they eat the fruit of their labour.
May joy never leave their home.
May their latter days...
Be greater than the former.
SPIRITUAL DECLARATION
The God of Abraham...
Bless my parents.
The God of Isaac...
Strengthen my parents.
The God of Jacob...
Prosper my parents.
May they see...
Their children's children.
May peace surround them.
May favour follow them.
May Heaven reward every hidden sacrifice.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
FINAL CHORUS (Full Choir + Brass + Percussion)
Mama!
Thank You!
Papa!
Thank You!
Because you trusted God...
We are standing here today!
Because you never stopped praying...
Our family has a new beginning!
This wedding...
Is your celebration too!
Dance!
Laugh!
Rejoice!
The Lord has done great things!
Forever we'll remember...
The love you gave.
The tears you hid.
The prayers you prayed.
The sacrifices you made.
Today...
We honour you!
OUTRO (Choir & Crowd)

You shall witness our generations.

May the Lord reward you.
Forever...
