Deacon Doctor Igwe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deacon Doctor Divine Igwe, you stood when others walked away. Hands open wide to human pain, you turned the night to bread again. You gave your shoulder, gave your time, you made the weary stand in line. Ebonyi sees the fruit you bear, a healing heart, a steady prayer. [Pre-Chorus] When the roads were rough, you brought us light. When the load was much, you held us tight. [Chorus] Deacon Doctor Igwe, we honor you (Deacon Doctor Igwe) You saved lives, you saved lives You gave hope, and you came through Deacon Doctor Igwe, we bless your name (we bless your name) Philanthropic heart Still burning bright the same [Verse 2] From gift to gift, from town to town, you lift the weak and turn them round. Not for applause, not for fame, you move in love, you keep your name. Executive with a servant’s hand, you plant compassion through this land. Every child and mother know your mercy made the dead hope grow. [Pre-Chorus] When the wounds were deep, you did not turn. When the tears would speak, you let them learn. [Chorus] Deacon Doctor Igwe, we honor you (Deacon Doctor Igwe) You saved lives, you saved lives You gave hope, and you came through Deacon Doctor Igwe, we bless your name (we bless your name) Philanthropic heart Still burning bright the same [Bridge] May your table overflow with the kindness you have shown. May your footsteps never fade from the lives you helped to save. [Final Chorus] Deacon Doctor Igwe, we honor you (Deacon Doctor Igwe) You saved lives, you saved lives You gave hope, and you came through Deacon Doctor Igwe, we bless your name (we bless your name) Philanthropic heart Still burning bright the same
