Lyrics

O LORD I WONDER WHY? HOW MY BROTHERS ARE SO HUNGRY, AND THE PEOPLE OF MY COLOR PASS THEM BY, AS THEY WORSHIP YOU IN GLORY AND SAY YOU NAME OUT LOAD, JESUS CHRIST YET THEY NEVER STOP TO WONDER THE STATUE THAT IS SO WHITE, A IMAGE, MADE BY THERE HANDS, YET IT NOT JUST THE COVER BUT THE WORD OF A BOOK SO TRUE, BUT RATHER THE HEART THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE,

(COR REST)
O AFRICA O AFRICA HOLD ON TO HIS PROMISES, STANDING ON YOUR FEET WALK BESIDE HIS SIDE, TILL HE SETS YOU FREE

THIS WORLD HAS GONE TOMORROW, JUST LIKE IT STANDS TODAY, YET HIS PROMISES, WILL NEVER FADE AWAY, A NEW WORLD MADE FOR YOU, AND ALL WHOM DO NOT CHOOSE, THE BLINDNESS OF OUR EYES, BUT A COLORFUL HEART

(GO TO CORRECT ABOVE)

O BLACK AND WHITE, ONE COLOR THAT SO TRUE, AND EVERY DAY, MAY HE BE INTRODUCED TO YOU O O O, O AFRICA O AFRICA, A CRY O AFRICA O AFRICA, O AFRICA O AFRICA, YOU KNOW HE DIED FOR YOU, I LOVE YOU WORLD I LOVE YOU, AFRICA IS WHAT HE SAID, AS YOU PASS THE TEST ENDURING TO THE END, TO RELY ON CHRIST ETERNAL, FOR A LIFE ABUNDANTLY, O THANK YOU LORD YOUR THE TRUE HEART OF THE FAITH.

(GO TO COR REST

BELIEVING IN THE PAST AND PAST AND PRESENT TIMES, LOOKING FORWARD TO A FUTURE OF ETERNAL LIFE, O AFRICA O AFRICA, A CRY O AFRICA O AFRICA, O AFRICA O AFRICA, YOU KNOW HE DIED FOR YOU, WHEN THE APOSTLES SAW HIS PROMISE, THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD, BEEN MADE COMPLETE, MANIFESTED TO YOUR SOUL, BUT WHEN HILL QUICKEN UP YOUR BODY, AND RESTORE YOU ALL TO HEALTH, AND NOURISH YOU AT BREAK-FEAST LUNCH AND TEA.

(END WITH CORRECT)
