Halleluyah!
Praise
the
Lord!
Mother
Elika,
the
love
you
give
is
heaven-sent.
From
the
rising
of
the
sun
to
the
place
where
it
sets
We
see
the
hand
of
God
in
the
way
you
never
forget
To
lift
us
up
in
prayer
when
the
nights
are
getting
long
You
are
the
melody
inside
our
family
song
Your
heart
is
like
a
garden
where
the
seed
of
faith
is
sown
The
greatest
gift
of
grace
that
we
have
ever
known
We
thank
the
Lord
for
you,
our
pillar
and
our
light
You
shine
for
the
Simfukwe
children,
oh
so
bright.
Oh
Mother
Elika,
your
love
is
like
a
river
flowing
down
You
wear
the
crown
of
kindness,
the
finest
in
the
town
God
bless
your
hands,
God
bless
your
feet,
God
bless
the
life
you
live
For
all
the
sacrifice
and
all
the
love
you
give
You’
re
a
blessing,
Mother
Elika,
a
treasure
from
above
We
thank
the
Lord
for
constant,
everlasting
mother's
love.
When
storms
were
raging
hard
and
the
clouds
were
looking
grey
You
knelt
upon
your
knees
and
you
showed
us
how
to
pray
With
wisdom
in
your
voice
and
the
spirit
in
your
soul
You
kept
the
Simfukwe
children
in
the
Father's
control
Eseun
Baba,
for
the
life
that
she
has
shared
For
the
way
she
shows
us
that
she
has
always
truly
cared
We
lift
our
voices
high,
let
the
heavens
hear
the
sound
Of
the
love
in
this
family
that
you
have
always
found.
Oh
Mother
Elika,
your
love
is
like
a
river
flowing
down
You
wear
the
crown
of
kindness,
the
finest
in
the
town
God
bless
your
hands,
God
bless
your
feet,
God
bless
the
life
you
live
For
all
the
sacrifice
and
all
the
love
you
give
You’
re
a
blessing,
Mother
Elika,
a
treasure
from
above
We
thank
the
Lord
for
constant,
everlasting
mother's
love.
Glory
to
the
King,
for
a
mother
such
as
this!
A
fountain
of
the
joy,
a
lifetime
of
the
bliss
Chineke,
we
thank
You
for
her
heart
so
pure
and
gold
A
story
of
the
mercy
that
never
will
grow
old
We
celebrate
you
now,
let
the
trumpet
sound
the
praise
For
the
beautiful
foundation
that
you
helped
us
to
raise.
So
here
is
to
the
days
that
are
coming
on
your
way
May
the
favor
of
the
Lord
be
with
you
every
day
Your
children
stand
as
one,
and
we
call
your
name
in
pride
With
the
favor
of
the
Almighty
forever
on
your
side
You
are
the
root,
you
are
the
branch,
you
are
the
family
tree
Reflecting
all
the
grace
that
the
world
should
ever
see
Imela,
for
the
kindness
that
you
never
will
withhold
You
are
more
precious
than
the
finest
of
the
gold.
Oh
Mother
Elika,
