A Thousand Generations

Verse

For years we have been praying for a baby girl, and finally, on December 12, 1998, at 11:45 am, a beautiful baby was born. God granted our request — you are a miracle from above, a testimony of God’s goodness. You are the princess of the family.

Dad named you Kezee-yah from the Bible, one of Job’s daughters. Your name represents the sweet-smelling spice used for anointing oils and a reminder that there is restoration, a fragrant new life, and God’s blessings after suffering.

Pre-chorus

As you grew up, you loved to sing and learned every musical instrument available in our church. You helped lead worship, taught children to dance, led youths to the Lord, and even joined Dad in his pioneering work in Tinian and Guam. We saw how you loved God, how you loved us, and His ministry.

Chorus

Thank you for all the love, thank you for all the joy you bring. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion are overflowing. You reflect not only your parents’ hearts but the Heavenly Father’s love. May God’s favor be upon you and upon a thousand generations of God-fearing people through you. May you fulfill God’s purpose in this life with His anointing.

Verse

When Dad passed away, Mom knew it wouldn’t be easy because you are Daddy’s girl. Mom prayed that God would take care of you and surround you with people who would draw you closer to Him and help you heal, and God did.

Thank God — He sent Kellen with two precious angels, Teagan and Ranger, a bundle of God’s goodness into your life. Always remember too that Mom, Kedesh, Marjorie, Baby Elisha, and Kenneth, though we are far, we are always here for you.

Chorus

Thank you for all the love, thank you for all the joy you bring. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion are overflowing. You reflect not only your parents’ hearts but the Heavenly Father’s love. May God’s favor be upon you and upon a thousand generations of God-fearing people through you. May you fulfill God’s purpose in this life with His anointing.

Chorus

Thank you for all the love, thank you for all the joy you bring. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion are overflowing. You reflect not only your parents’ hearts but the Heavenly Father’s love. May God’s favor be upon you and upon a thousand generations of God-fearing people through you. May you fulfill God’s purpose in this life with His anointing.

Outro

Remember Psalm 112:2 “The children of the righteous, will be mighty in the land, the generation of the upright will be blessed.” We love you and celebrate you, Happy 27th Birthday!
