(Soft piano chords)
Yeah, this one is for you
My prayer warrior, my queen
Thirty-five years of service
God bless your heart
You wake up early while the world is still asleep
In the quiet kitchen, secrets that you keep
You juggle the home, you juggle the crown
Even when the heavy weight is dragging you down
Thirty-five years you served with all your might
You were my anchor in the middle of the night
When I was dying, you stood by my bed
Rebuking death with the words that you said
Oh, Pastor Victor your husband says, my wife and my friend, Your love for us is a road without an end
From the prayers in the morning to the bread on the plate, You’re the reason that we celebrate your fate
My lover, my partner, the soul of this home
You never left us, you never will roam
Look at the children, look what you have sown
Mercy is an angel, watching from the throne
Goodness is rising, a man of great grace
And Praise is a star with a smile on her face
I see your dedication in the way that they bloom
You brought the sunshine into every room
No matter the pressure, you never complain
You walked through the fire and you danced in the rain
Oh, Pastor Victor your husband says, my wife and my friend, Your love for us is a road without an end
From the prayers in the morning to the bread on the plate, You’re the reason that we celebrate your fate
My lover, my partner, the soul of this home
You never left us, you never will roam
May the fruit of your labor be sweet to your soul
May God keep you healthy, may He keep you whole
Mercy sends her love, she’s adoring your light
Goodness says thank you, you’re doing it right
And Praise shouts it loud, "Mummy, you are the best!"
You earned this retirement, you earned all the rest
Thirty-five years, now you step off the stage
Turning a chapter, a brand new page
I’m standing here breathing because you were there
My life is a witness to your powerful prayer
Oh, Pastor Victor your husband says, my wife and my friend, Your love for us is a road without an end
From the prayers in the morning to the bread on the plate, You’re the reason that we celebrate your fate
My lover, my partner, the soul of this home
You never left us, you never will roam
Enjoy the harvest, my dear, my love
Sent from the heavens, a gift from above
Thirty-five years… thank you, my queen
You are the greatest that I’ve ever seen Oluwatayo Samuel sing this song to celebrate your beautiful day
