A Tribute To Black History
Our Fathers
Our fathers came to this land in chains,
leaving the only world they knew.
They could not imagine bondage ever having gains
that would take many years to pursue.
Truly, it was God who brought us out
to this great land of liberty.
For it is God who is bringing freedom about
though struggling through captivity.
Truly God, gave them the will to persevere,
and the strong desire to sustain,
that would keep them through the days of fear
so their legacies would remain.
Truly, it was God's will that we're here today
to look back at them with pride.
to look back at fathers who were survivors and say
we're here cause God was by their side.
