[female vocals] Oh,
the
road
was
long
and
winding
But
Your
light
was
always
finding
me
Seventeen
with
a
heart
so
young
and
wide
Life
took
a
turn,
I
had
nowhere
to
hide
Pregnant
and
weary,
just
a
child
in
the
fray
Dropped
out
of
school,
watched
my
dreams
drift
away
Married
at
nineteen,
the
years
started
to
roll
But
a
hunger
for
knowledge
burned
deep
in
my
soul
I
stood
at
the
crossroads,
I
made
my
demand
To
finish
the
journey,
held
fast
by
His
hand
I’
ve
fought
through
the
fire,
I’
ve
walked
through
the
rain
Found
beauty
in
struggle,
found
grace
in
the
pain
From
the
GCE
papers
to
the
COG
degree
Lord,
thank
You
for
holding
the
heart
of
me
Oh,
glory,
I
made
it,
the
victory
is
won
Thank
You
Jesus
for
all
You
have
done
Three
different
exams,
I
labored
to
write
Studying
late
in
the
dead
of
the
night
Certificate
earned,
then
to
Kitwe
I
went
Midwifery
dreams,
all
my
energy
spent
But
the
marriage
was
breaking,
the
diploma
was
lost
I
walked
through
the
divorce,
I
counted
the
cost
Yes
Lord,
it
was
heavy,
my
spirit
was
low
But
You
taught
me
the
places
where
I
had
to
grow
I’
ve
fought
through
the
fire,
I’
ve
walked
through
the
rain
Found
beauty
in
struggle,
found
grace
in
the
pain
From
the
GCE
papers
to
the
COG
degree
Lord,
thank
You
for
holding
the
heart
of
me
Oh,
glory,
I
made
it,
the
victory
is
won
Thank
You
Jesus
for
all
You
have
done
Lusaka
became
the
place
for
my
rise
Zambian
Royal,
saw
the
truth
in
Your
eyes
Clinic
Officer,
I
stand
here
today
My
testimony
in
every
word
that
I
say
Praise
Him,
I’
m
standing,
I’
m
finally
here
Hallelujah,
You
wiped
away
every
tear
It
wasn’
t
a
straight
path,
it
wasn’
t
a
breeze
But
I
fell
on
my
face
and
I
fell
on
my
knees
Through
every
setback,
You
gave
me
the
key
Now
I’
m
a
COG,
and
the
future
is
free
Amen,
for
the
lessons,
amen
for
the
strife
You
turned
every
chapter
to
honor
my
life
I’
ve
fought
through
the
fire,
I’
ve
walked
through
the
rain
Found
beauty
in
struggle,
found
grace
in
the
pain
From
the
GCE
papers
to
the
COG
degree
Lord,
thank
You
for
holding
the
heart
of
me
Oh,
glory,
I
made
it,
the
victory
is
won
Thank
You
Jesus
for
all
You
have
done
I
made
it,
I’
m
a
COG,
by
Your
grace
Running
my
race
in
this
holy
place
Thank
You
Jesus,

s
all
for
You
You
made
me
new,
You
made
me
new
Amen.
