This is Africa
where the land is old and full of history
where nations rise and fall in blood and battles scar the hearts of people
This is Africa
where the horizon stretches for miles with blazing orange sunsets
where animals are truly wild in their life and death struggles on the plains
This is Africa
where the people are dark and full of life and light
where joy and laughter radiate from bodies with dancing and songs of worship
This is Africa
a land of many tongues, tribes and nations, but
with one Father who created and loves them all
This is Africa
different from any other place on earth and forever engrained
on the hearts of its’ visitors who long to return even before they leave
This is Africa
God, hear the cries of Your people long
into the night; the sick, abandoned, hungry, lost and forgotten weep
This is Africa
God, reign down Your presence and Your mercy on this great land
bring forth healings, miracles and bring glory to Your name!
This is Africa
Lord, You are here, reviving a nation and bringing sons and daughters to Your Kingdom!
This is Africa
Your heart is big here and
You see Your people’s pain, you have not forgotten Africa
This is Africa, Lord, This is YOU
