Poems for Africa

AFRICA! WILL YOUR NAME BE THERE?

Composed and Written by Dr. Joseph Israel James

When the Lord begins to reward nations and continents
Telling them welcome, faithful and obedient servants
Raising crowns, beautifying their heads.
Africa! Will your name be there?

When the Lord remembers other continents for faithful work
Those that through Tears and Weeping built God's Kingdom
Nations that hazarded their lives to serve the Lord.
Africa! Will your name be there?

When the Lord will take away trials and temptations of the world,
Making many kings and queens in their royal regalia,
Wiping away the dust of the battle fought with the enemy
And putting everlasting laughter in their mouths
Africa! Will your name be there?

When the Lord will reward His faithful Pastors,
Missionaries, Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists and all Christians
Making them to inherit their everlasting Kingdom,
Loving them like a bridegroom loves his bride,
Africa! Will your name be there?
