Poems for Africa

AFRICA! BEHOLD A NEW THING

Composed and Written by Dr. Joseph Israel James

Africa! Remember not the former things
Oh! Consider not the things of old
You know the devil is a liar and a looser
He has tried and failed
Africa! Thus says the Lord
Behold a new thing

Africa! Many are saying I love you
If no one says, The Father, The Son, and The Spirit say so
Africa, This is your season, yes this is your time
Oh! Your bondage and captivity is destroyed
Africa! Thus says the Lord
Behold a new thing

Africa! I see many coming to you!
Africa your Savior is risen to help
Now is come your salvation
Possess the gates of your enemies
Africa! Thus says the Lord
Behold a new thing

Africa you're the salt of the earth
A city on the Holy Hill
A light to many Nations of the earth
Africa you can make it, don't lose hope
Africa! Thus says the Lord
Behold a new thing
