(Hallelujah)
(Praise Him)
Oh, I lift my voice to thank You for the ones who raised me.
I look back at the years, the seeds that were sown
You built a foundation of grace in this home
When the world was cold and the path wasn't clear
You held me close, Lord, You cast out my fear
You taught me the morals, the truth of the light
You were my lantern through the darkest of nights
Yes Lord, when no one believed I would rise
You saw the future with love in your eyes.
Oh, thank You for my mother, thank You for my father
You gave me everything, You climbed every ladder
Your sacrifice stands like a mountain of gold
In the story of my life, you’re the legends untold
I am always with you, through the sun and the rain
May your years be many, free from all pain
Yes, God bless the ones who gave all to see me through
I’m standing here today, a reflection of you.
I never had a worry, I never had a doubt
You showed me what faith and devotion’s about
When everyone doubted who I would become
You were the beat, you were the sound of the drum
You provided the shelter, you provided the bread
With wisdom and kindness in every word said
Thank You Jesus, for the paths that you paved
For the souls that you nurtured and the lives that you saved.
Oh, thank You for my mother, thank You for my father
You gave me everything, You climbed every ladder
Your sacrifice stands like a mountain of gold
In the story of my life, you’re the legends untold
I am always with you, through the sun and the rain
May your years be many, free from all pain
Yes, God bless the ones who gave all to see me through
I’m standing here today, a reflection of you.
And to anyone listening, struggling with life
You’re covered in mercy, in the middle of strife
God is right there, He’s holding your hand
He’s building a kingdom on top of the sand
Don’t lose your hope, keep your eyes on the throne
You’re never deserted, you’re never alone
(Glory!) Keep holding on, keep walking in faith
His grace is sufficient, His love is the gate.
So Mom and Dad, I’m standing tall by your side
With nothing to fear and with nothing to hide
I pray for your health, for the joy in your soul
That the grace of the Father will keep you all whole
I’m with you forever, in spirit and heart
From the very beginning, right from the start
Amen, let it be written, let it be true
My love goes to God, and my love goes to you.
Oh, thank You for my mother, thank You for my father
You gave me everything, You climbed every ladder
Your sacrifice stands like a mountain of gold
In the story of my life, you’re the legends untold
I am always with you, through the sun and the rain
May your years be many, free from all pain
Yes, God bless the ones who gave all to see me through
I’m standing here today, a reflection of you.
I’m standing here today...
(Praise Him)
Because of the love that you gave me.
(Thank You Jesus)
May you live long, may you live strong.
Amen.
