From Disappointment to Appointment
Style: Contemporary African gospel with moderate groove (piano, bass, drums)
[Verse 1]
I remember those low days, couldn't see the sun
Every door kept closing on the plans I'd begun
But You held me in the waiting, didn't let me fall
Now I'm standing in a place I never dreamed at all
[Chorus]
My name is Joshua Makondo, I am to testify
Where God has brought me from, He alone can satisfy
From disappointment to appointment, He turned it all around
I'm here appreciating the Anointing, on this holy ground
[Verse 2]
For our father prophet award, the oil still flows
Through the vessel God has chosen, His power only grows
Every step along this journey, mercy marked the way
Now I'm stepping into purpose, watch me rise today
[Chorus]
My name is Joshua Makondo, I am to testify
Where God has brought me from, He alone can satisfy
From disappointment to appointment, He turned it all around
I'm here appreciating the Anointing, on this holy ground
[Verse 3]
Natotela, natotela, let me lift my hands
For my mother Juliet Nglinshi, helped me understand
She showed me in the church of reconciliation, how to pray
Now I'm walking in the blessings of a debt I couldn't pay
[Bridge]
Natotela, natotela — thank You for the pain
Natotela, natotela — every loss became a gain
For my mother's tears and teaching, for the prophet's faithful hand
For the church that kept me standing, for this promised land
[Outro - spoken/sung softly then building]
Joshua Makondo... I am to testify...
From disappointment... to appointment... (echo: to appointment)
Natotela... natotela... (echo: natotela...)
