The
sun
is
rising
over
the
Mwandi
plains
A
golden
light
that
washes
out
the
pains
We
gather
here
beneath
the
open
sky
With
heavy
hearts
lifted
up
on
high
Oh
the
road
was
long
and
the
dust
was
deep
But
there’
s
a
promise
that
the
Father
keeps
We
found
our
rest
within
this
sacred
ground
Where
love
is
lived
and
where
the
grace
is
found
Oh
Mwandi
congregation,
lift
your
voices
loud
There’
s
mercy
shining
through
every
passing
cloud
We’
re
walking
steady
on
this
narrow
way
Giving
thanks
for
the
light
of
a
brand
new
day
Yeah
the
love
is
overflowing
in
this
place
We’
re
standing
tall
in
the
beauty
of
His
grace
I
see
the
faces
worn
by
seasons
passed
But
building
something
that
is
meant
to
last
A
brotherhood
that
stands
against
the
gale
A
faith
so
strong
it
surely
won't
fail
From
the
riverside
to
the
dusty
lane
We
found
a
shelter
from
the
driving
rain
So
keep
your
spirits
high
and
your
vision
clear
There's
a
mighty
hand
that
is
drawing
near
Oh
Mwandi
congregation,
lift
your
voices
loud
There’
s
mercy
shining
through
every
passing
cloud
We’
re
walking
steady
on
this
narrow
way
Giving
thanks
for
the
light
of
a
brand
new
day
Yeah
the
love
is
overflowing
in
this
place
We’
re
standing
tall
in
the
beauty
of
His
grace
And
when
the
shadows
try
to
dim
the
spark
We’
ll
be
the
beacon
shining
in
the
dark
No
mountain
too
high,
no
valley
too
low
With
the
river
of
peace
that
continues
to
flow
Oh
let
it
flow,
let
it
flow
through
the
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh
Mwandi
congregation,
lift
your
voices
loud
There’
s
mercy
shining
through
every
passing
cloud
We’
re
walking
steady
on
this
narrow
way
Giving
thanks
for
the
light
of
a
brand
new
day
Yeah
the
love
is
overflowing
in
this
place
We’
re
standing
tall
in
the
beauty
of
His
grace
Yeah,
we're
standing
tall
In
the
beauty
of
His
grace
Mwandi,
sing
it
out
Oh,
we're
giving
thanks
today (
