Our Higher Ground (Jane’s Song)
(Verse 1)
In the classrooms of Makurdi, where it all began
Just two kids with a vision and a simple plan
100 Level dreams, walking hand in hand
Across the dusty paths of Benue land.
I saw a fire in your eyes, Jane, steady and true
I didn’t know then all the storms we’d go through
But looking back now, through the years we’ve climbed
You’re the greatest treasure that I’ll ever find.
(Chorus)
Jane Philip, my heart, my life, my queen
The strongest woman this world has ever seen.
Through the pains and the gains, through the thick and the thin
With you by my side, I know we’re gonna win.
God held our hands when the road was too steep
And the promises He made are the ones He will keep.
I love you forever, more than words can say
And we’re standing stronger every single day.
(Verse 2)
We’ve tasted the bitter, we’ve tasted the sweet
We’ve walked through the fire without burning our feet.
The house is still quiet, and the cradle is still
But we’re resting our hope in the Father’s will.
A child is a blessing that’s coming our way
We’re holding onto faith, come what may.
For the God who saw us through the darkest night
Will bring our morning sun, shining bright.
(Bridge)
And just the other day, my heart nearly stopped
When the shadows grew long and the teardrops dropped.
That surgery room was a valley so deep
But the Shepherd of Benue doesn't slumber or sleep.
You walked through the valley, you came out alive
Because you’re a fighter, Jane—you don’t just survive.
Thank You, Lord, for the breath in her lungs
We’ll sing Your praises with joyful tongues.
(Outro)
Jane Philip... my 100 level girl.
The love of my life in this whole wide world.
Healing is yours, and the future is too
I’m never letting go, I’m staying with you.
Forever and always.
Forever and always.
