HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHEMAIAH
Verse 1
Before we ever held you in our arms,
God had already written your story.
Before we ever saw your little face,
He had already surrounded you with glory.
You came sooner than we planned,
A tiny miracle in God's mighty hand.
Though you weighed just 2.4 kilograms,
You carried answers to our deepest prayers.
Chorus
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah ,
God heard every prayer we prayed.
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah Hain Kumwenda,
A testimony of amazing grace.
You are proof that God is faithful,
You are proof that God is true.
Happy Birthday, precious Shemaiah,
God's promises are living in you.
Verse 2
There were days when fear filled our hearts,
And nights when we could only pray.
There were battles no one else could see,
But God kept making a way.
When doctors spoke of limitations,
God spoke promises instead.
When the world expected defeat,
God lifted up your head.
Chorus
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah Hain Kumwenda,
God heard every prayer we prayed.
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah ,
A testimony of amazing grace.
You are proof that God is faithful,
You are proof that God is true.
Happy Birthday, precious Shemaiah,
God's promises are living in you.
Bridge
I prayed that people would see Jesus in your smile,
And feel His love whenever you are near.
I prayed your life would point others to Christ,
And God has been faithful year after year.
Your story speaks louder than words can tell,
Of a God who still performs miracles well.
Your life is a light for the world to see,
A reflection of God's goodness and mercy.
Final Chorus
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah,
Today we celebrate God's faithfulness.
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah God truly heard our prayer,
A life filled with purpose and blessedness.
Three years of miracles,
Three years of grace,
Three years of seeing God's hand in every place.
Happy Birthday, Shemaiah Hain Kumwenda,
Our joy, our blessing, our answered prayer.
And as you grow, may the world always see
The love of Christ shining through you everywhere.
