Oh yeah…
This is the prayer of a father and a mother…
For our children…
Kingsley… Priscilla… Victoria…
May God go before you…
May His light shine upon you…
Kingsley, as you grow, may wisdom be your guide,
May you walk with courage, may you never lose your light.
When life brings challenges, may you never lose your way,
May favour speak for you, every night and every day.
May the work of your hands be blessed,
May your heart be filled with peace.
May you become a man of honour,
And may your blessings never cease.
May God go before you,
May He walk beside you,
May His light shine upon you,
Everywhere you go.
Kingsley, Priscilla, Victoria,
May your lives be full of favour.
May you rise higher and higher,
May you become a shining star.
Priscilla, my dear, your grace is like the morning sun,
May you walk in confidence until your race is fully won.
Victoria, your heart is gold, may you keep it true,
May every dream you carry, finally come to you.
Like a tree by the water, may you always stand tall,
Even when the shadows come, you will never fall.
May God go before you,
May He walk beside you,
May His light shine upon you,
Everywhere you go.
Kingsley, Priscilla, Victoria,
May your lives be full of favour.
May you rise higher and higher,
May you become a shining star.
(Choir harmonies swell)
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same,
Your paths are ordered, you’re covered in His name.
No weapon formed against you shall ever prevail,
Your destiny is set, and it shall never fail!
May God go before you,
May He walk beside you,
May His light shine upon you,
Everywhere you go.
Kingsley, Priscilla, Victoria,
May your lives be full of favour.
May you rise higher and higher,
May you become a shining star.
Shine bright, my children…
Kingsley… Priscilla… Victoria…
May you rise!
(Organ fades with a gentle percussive heartbeat)
Amen.
