[Intro] Oh,
we
lift
our
hands
today
For
the
ones
who
paved
the
way
[Verse 1] I
look
back
at
the
years
gone
by
I
see
the
truth
beneath
the
sky
My
father
Boyd
Dominic
mwangala
stood
so
tall
and
strong
He
taught
me
right
from
every
wrong
My
mother
Janet
musonda
mama
Rino's
held
me
in
her
prayer
I
felt
the
weight
of
love
and
care
Through
every
storm
and
every
rain
They
washed
away
the
fear
and
pain (
Thank
You
Jesus)
[Chorus] Oh,
praise
Him
for
my
mother
and
father
They
showed
me
grace
like
no
other
Lord,
keep
them
steady
in
Your
hand
Across
the
shifting
desert
sand
They
are
the
light,
they
are
the
guide
With
You,
Lord,
walking
by
their
side
Oh,
we
sing
glory
to
the
King
For
all
the
joy
that
they
both
bring (
Yes
Lord!)
[Verse 2] When
I
was
weak,
they
made
me
stand
They
placed
my
life
in
God's
own
hand
They
worked
the
fields
and
sowed
the
seed
To
meet
my
spirit’
s
deepest
need
I
see
the
wisdom
in
their
eyes
A
harvest
underneath
the
skies
They
never
faltered
in
the
dark
They
kept
the
fire
and
kept
the
spark (
Hallelujah!)
[Chorus] Oh,
praise
Him
for
my
mother
and
father
They
showed
me
grace
like
no
other
Lord,
keep
them
steady
in
Your
hand
Across
the
shifting
desert
sand
They
are
the
light,
they
are
the
guide
With
You,
Lord,
walking
by
their
side
Oh,
we
sing
glory
to
the
King
For
all
the
joy
that
they
both
bring (
Praise
Him!)
[Bridge] Bless
their
feet
that
walked
the
road
Bless
their
hearts
that
bore
the
load
May
their
harvest
be
a
hundredfold
With
stories
of
Your
mercy
told (
Glory!)
[Verse 3] So
let
the
choir
rise
and
sing
For
all
the
blessings
that
they
bring
A
legacy
of
faith
so
true
Reflecting
all
the
good
You
do
I
honor
them
with
every
breath
A
love
that
conquers
fear
and
death
I
thank
You
Lord
for
giving
me
The
parents
that
I
pray
to
see (
Amen!)
[Chorus] Oh,
praise
Him
for
my
mother
and
father
They
showed
me
grace
like
no
other
Lord,
keep
them
steady
in
Your
hand
Across
the
shifting
desert
sand
They
are
the
light,
they
are
the
guide
With
You,
Lord,
walking
by
their
side
Oh,
we
sing
glory
to
the
King
For
all
the
joy
that
they
both
bring
[Outro] For
my
mother
and
my
father
May
Your
love
surround
them
ever
Yes
Lord,
keep
them
in
Your
care
Amen
and
amen,
we
declare.
