(Hallelujah, glory)
Oh, give thanks for the ones who lead us home
Mr. Mulez Sikongo speaking from the heart
Giving honor to the lady who gave me my start
Kanyanga, my mother, the queen of my soul
You are the fire that makes a man whole
You taught me the kindness that lives in my chest
Of all of God's blessings, you are the best
Yes Lord, praise Him
Oh Kanyanga, my first teacher, my first home
You are the love that follows wherever I roam
My sponsor, my helper, the light in the dark
You fanned the flame and you lit up the spark
I love you Mom, yes I love you so
You are the reason I continue to grow
Thank You Jesus, glory
When I look in the mirror, I see your grace
I see the wisdom written all over your face
You were my first source of love from the start
Carrying heaven inside of your heart
Kindness is a language you taught me to speak
Strength for the weary and grace for the weak
Amen, praise Him
Oh Kanyanga, my first teacher, my first home
You are the love that follows wherever I roam
My sponsor, my helper, the light in the dark
You fanned the flame and you lit up the spark
I love you Mom, yes I love you so
You are the reason I continue to grow
Thank You Jesus, glory
Through every mountain and every deep valley
You were the comfort, the one that stood by me
God sent an angel in human design
And I am so grateful that you are all mine
(Yes Lord!)
So let the choir rise up and sing out your name
A love like yours will never be the same
From the first breath I took to the man I am now
I honor your spirit, I offer this vow
To walk in the kindness you poured into me
For all of the world and the Father to see
(Hallelujah, thank You Jesus)
Oh Kanyanga, my first teacher, my first home
You are the love that follows wherever I roam
My sponsor, my helper, the light in the dark
You fanned the flame and you lit up the spark
I love you Mom, yes I love you so
You are the reason I continue to grow
Thank You Jesus, glory
I love you Mom, Kanyanga
My first home, my first love
Yes Lord, thank You for her
Amen, Amen, Amen.
