(Hallelujah)
My father, my diamond, you shine in my heart
(Yes Lord)
I look at the sky and I call out your name
Though the years have passed, life is not the same
We walked a road where the stones were so sharp
We weren't always close, pulled the strings of my heart
But I stayed by your side through the darkest of night
Until your last breath, I held on to the light
Oh, my diamond, my father, I miss you today
I cherish the lessons you taught me that way
Oh, I missed my diamond, that’s my father, my king
To the heavens above, all the praises I bring
What you taught me in struggle, it’s paving the way
I am walking in grace because of you today
Yes, my father, my diamond, I love you so much
I feel your spirit, I feel your soft touch
(Praise Him, glory!)
It wasn’t always easy, the path was so steep
But the promises made are the ones that I keep
You were the teacher who spoke through the pain
Now I’m blooming like flowers after the rain
Every step that I take, I carry your name
Your legacy burns like a holy flame
I’m not looking back, I’m moving ahead
Guided by words that my father once said
Oh, I missed my diamond, that’s my father, my king
To the heavens above, all the praises I bring
What you taught me in struggle, it’s paving the way
I am walking in grace because of you today
Yes, my father, my diamond, I love you so much
I feel your spirit, I feel your soft touch
Though the silence is heavy, your wisdom is loud
I know that you’re watching from up in the cloud
(Thank You Jesus)
The hard way you showed me was mercy in disguise
Now I see the vision through much clearer eyes
Baba mi, you are the best that I knew
Everything I have, I owe it to you
(Amen!)
I’m rising higher, I’m standing so tall
I’m answering destiny’s beautiful call
You shaped me, you molded me, made me so strong
In the choir of life, you’re my favorite song
I missed my diamond, I honor your soul
Your memory’s the fire that keeps me whole
Oh, I missed my diamond, that’s my father, my king
To the heavens above, all the praises I bring
What you taught me in struggle, it’s paving the way
I am walking in grace because of you today
Yes, my father, my diamond, I love you so much
I feel your spirit, I feel your soft touch
I love you, dad, you’re my diamond, my light
Rest in the glory, everything’s alright
(Yes Lord, praise Him)
My father, my diamond, forever in me
(Hallelujah, amen)
