A Covenant Fulfilled : a Witness To Christ
now when i look back in history i have come to discover
that true African-american history is basically undercover
most cultures know their history and from whence they came to be
but somehow that is missing when it comes to African-american history
the Proclamation Emancipation and the Dred Scott Case
two important historical incidents that were concerned about race
and when i look at the Constitution i did find
that in 1865 on February 1st was the day that President Lincoln did sign
but in fact the actual date that this law came alive
was December 6th in the year 1865
a covenant fulfilled God sent the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
an anointed man of God who made civil rights his thing
a covenant fulfilled is when we testify
as eye witnesses of God's work and how African-americans have survived
the evidence is written in the Holy Scriptures
a corroboration of testimonies that gives the full gospel picture
you can't let the stones in life impede you from getting to Christ
and don't allow the stones to cry out as a witness to your life
and don't let the stones hinder you by putting obstacles in your way
just trust in God to move them as you praise Him and pray
a covenant fulfilled in telling our people's story
as we're witnesses to God's goodness, mercy, grace and glory
a covenant fulfilled bringing a brother or a sister to Christ
to let them experience the goodness of God that can change their life
a covenant fulfilled
