Father's Promise to Malekani Peter (Remix)

[male vocals] Oh,

heaven

hear

my

cry

today

Resting

in

the

arms

of

grace,

Papa

Malekani

Peter

I

remember

the

lessons

you

whispered

in

the

dark

You

left

a

fire

burning

inside

of

my

heart

You

told

me

stand

tall

when

the

world

brings

the

cold

Even

when

they

rebuke

us,

be

brave

and

be

bold

You

said

keep

the

family

close,

no

matter

the

storm

Keep

them

protected,

keep

them

from

harm

Oh,

thank

You

Jesus,

for

the

path

that

he

paved

For

the

memories

of

love

that

I

have

safely

saved

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

you

are

walking

with

the

King

In

the

choir

of

the

heavens,

I

hear

the

angels

sing

I’

ll

hold

onto

the

family,

I’

ll

never

let

them

go

Like

you

taught

me,

Papa,

with

a

love

that

will

grow

Yes

Lord,

I’

ll

be

the

bridge,

I’

ll

be

the

light

Walking

in

your

honor

through

the

darkest

of

the

night

I

keep

my

promise

to

look

out

for

Tutu

Nkulu

And

my

brother

Monga,

oh,

the

work

that

I

will

do

Ilunga

Fred

and

Mary

Ngoy,

they

stay

on

my

mind

Esther

and

Jackrine,

such

treasures

I

find

Habraham

and

Mpundu

Emmanuel,

we

stay

as

one

Until

the

race

is

finished

and

the

work

is

finally

done

Glory

to

the

Most

High,

for

the

bond

that

we

share

I’

ll

shield

them

from

the

evil

with

a

heart

full

of

prayer

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

you

are

walking

with

the

King

In

the

choir

of

the

heavens,

I

hear

the

angels

sing

I’

ll

hold

onto

the

family,

I’

ll

never

let

them

go

Like

you

taught

me,

Papa,

with

a

love

that

will

grow

Yes

Lord,

I’

ll

be

the

bridge,

I’

ll

be

the

light

Walking

in

your

honor

through

the

darkest

of

the

night

Though

the

shadows

may

fall

and

the

rebuke

may

be

loud

I’

ll

lift

up

your

name,

I’

ll

make

you

proud

No

evil

shall

touch

those

you

left

in

my

care

I’

ll

cover

them

all

in

a

blanket

of

prayer

Praise

Him

for

the

wisdom,

praise

Him

for

the

grace

Until

the

day

I

see

you

in

that

holy

place

I

see

the

path

clearly,

the

road

you

laid

down

Walking

in

faith

until

I

reach

my

crown

Malekani

Peter,

your

spirit

is

near

Chasing

away

every

doubt,

every

fear

Amen,

let

it

be,

let

the

legacy

stand

Guided

by

the

Father

and

His

mighty

hand

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

you

are

walking

with

the

King

In

the

choir

of

the

heavens,

I

hear

the

angels

sing

I’

ll

hold

onto

the

family,

I’

ll

never

let

them

go

Like

you

taught

me,

Papa,

with

a

love

that

will

grow

Yes

Lord,

I’

ll

be

the

bridge,

I’

ll

be

the

light

Walking

in

your

honor

through

the

darkest

of

the

night

Rest

in

peace,

Papa,

I

will

watch

over

them

all

I

will

answer

the

duty,

I

will

answer

the

call

Glory,

hallelujah,

you

are

home

at

last

Forever

loved,

forever

held

in

the

past

Amen.
