(A Song of God's Faithfulness)
[A Duet]
She begins:
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen..
el-iyanu:
For the days of good, for the days of bad,
For the days of beans, for the days of rice,
For the days we fall, for the days we rise,
For the days of faith, for the days of doubts,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
Bella:
For the days I cried 'cause I was losing myself
For the days when I no even get Raba sef
For the days my Faith wavered
And for the day I finally made peace with my Maker
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
el-iyanu:
For the days of trees, for the days of plants,
For the days of then, for the days of now,
For the days we could, for the days we snoozed,
For the days of heat, for the days of ice,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
Bella:
For the days of Sorrow, for the days of Happiness
For the days I was praised and the days I was blamed
For the days I had more and the days I had less
For the days I walked around healthy and cheerful
'Cause of your blessings and grace in my life,
And for the days I felt 'Lame,'
And For everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
el-iyanu:
For the days of dark, for the days of light,
We'll give thanks in good and bad times—
What is faith if it can't survive the hard times?
What is faith if it can't survive the dark times?
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
Bella:
For the days of Abundant Blessings
For the days of Abundant Grace and Mercies
For the days we all felt like giving up
For the days I had no shoulder to lean on
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
el-iyanu:
For the times I'm out, for the times I'm in,
For the things I said, for the things I think,
For the things I did, for the things I mean,
For the grace of God, the forgiveness of sins,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
Together:
It's been quite the journey, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen
Still a long way to go, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen
Plenty ups and plenty downs, indeed, quite the story!
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
Together:
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,
And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!
