Poems for Africa

AFRICA! LOOK UP AND LIVE

Composed and Written by Dr. Joseph Israel James

Africa! Why die in silence
Oh! Yes! Africa be bold! Be courageous!
No! No! No! Africa No! No! No!
Africa don't be weary
Our God has offered help
Africa! Look up and live

Africa! Determination fights impossibility
Oh! Yes! Africa step out of your shell
Yes stand up Africa and see His Glory
Africa don't be weak
Our God has offered help
Africa! Look up and live

Africa! The beauty of God is upon you
Oh! Yes stop gnashing your teeth
Africa! This is your due season
Oh! Say not I have no man
Our God has offered help
Africa! Look up and live

Africa! The shout of the Great King is in you
Yes don't forget the promise of God for you
Africa! He says I will never leave nor forsake you
Oh! Why say my Lord cares not
Our God has offered help
Africa! Look up and live
