Thank You

Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
You know I can sit down and ask myself
Ask myself what happened
Is all this a dream?
Because of how I am, you chose me
The Lord said to me, my child, don't ask questions
Because the answer is in the hardships you come from
Remember how hard it was when your mother laughed
She opened the endless roads in the rain
You will fail, but you pray
Take the blessings because you did not give up hope
Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
Because I sing this song, I don't want to sing it alone
You too be patient, you will build your family
Hlengiwe Mhlaba listened
It was said I was lying
But until now, God is still my blesser
Oh mother, I love my mother
My father is a good example in my life
Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Lord, I thank you for giving me strength
I was able to lift up my father's house
For a long time, I struggled
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
Now that I have a home, my mother is happy
She says I bore her well, they laugh easily
