AFRICA! BREAK LOOSE AND MOVE

Composed and Written by Dr. Joseph Israel James

Are you bound by laziness?
Unable to pray and seek God?
Are you spiritually blind?
Unable to see beyond the veil of life?
Are you in prison and captivity?
By the reasons of men unwise
Break loose and move into action.
Africa: Missions Is Our Vision
Missions At All Cost

Are you bound by tradition
Seeing only the negative side of life?
Are you held back by your wrong beliefs?
Thinking you are more righteous than others?
Are you bound by self ego, pride and inferiority complex
Looking at yourself to be in the mold of the world?
Break loose and move into action.
Africa: Missions Is Our Vision
Missions At All Cost

Are you bound by foolishness and ignorance?
Not knowing exactly what to do?
Do you think you have stayed too long doing nothing
And now you are ashamed it is too late to begin?
Are you bound by the fact that people will laugh
Because they have gone further than you?
Break loose and move into action
Africa: Missions Is Our Vision
Missions At All Cost

Are you bound by the reason of being an illiterate
Thinking you cannot achieve anything in life?
Are you bound by poverty and having nothing
Thinking you are the worst in the world?
Are you bound by your present environment
Looking at yourself to be lower than every continent
Break loose and move into action
Africa: Missions Is Our Vision
Missions At All Cost
