AFRICA
FOR 36 YEARS YOU BURNED IN MY HEART
FOR A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
SO YOU STRETCHED FORTH YOUR HAND
AND MY JOURNEY BEGAN
BUT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND
THE DEPTH OF YOUR HEART FOR A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
PAINFULLY I ENDURED
LONLINESS I ENCURED
TILL THE TRAINING WAS DONE; THE BATTLE YET TO BE WON
FOR A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
PURIFYING MY SPIRIT WAS YOUR AIM
YOUR PLAN AND YOUR PURPOSE WAS MY GAIN
TO BE CALLED, TO BE SENT
TO A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
TO THE VALLEYS BELOW
YOU FILLED MY SPIRIT AND MADE ME AGLOW
WITH YOUR POWER AND YOUR MIGHT
I ENDURED THE FIGHT
IN A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
TO PRAISE AND TO WORSHIP YOU WAS MY AIM
TO GLORIFY YOUR KINGDOM; MY ONLY GAIN
IN A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
SO I STRETCHED FORTH MY HAND IN THE LAND
AS I FOLLOWED YOUR PLAN
I TOOK THE HAND OF A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
YOUR MESSAGE I TOOK
TO ENCOURAGE; TO BESTOW
YOUR LOVE FOR
A PEOPLE I DID NOT KNOW
TO BRING HEALING FROM THE OVERFLOW
OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT
UPON A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
TO PRAISE AND TO WORSHIP YOU IS ALL THAT THEY KNEW
SO I SAW WHAT YOU SEE
I HEARD WHAT YOU HEAR
I FEALT WHAT YOU FEEL
FOR A LAND AND A PEOPLE I KNEW NOT
OH TAKE ME BACK AGAIN I PRAY
THAT YOU WILL LEAD ME BACK SOME DAY
FOR MY HEART IS TORN AWAY
FOR A LAND AND A PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE
THAT YOU WILL TEACH ME YOUR WAYS;
THAT I MAY GAZE
UPON A LAND AND A PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE STILL TO DO
SO THAT WE MAY GLORIFY YOU
IN A LAND AND WITH A PEOPLE THAT I LOVE
MY PURPOSE TO FULFILL IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
TILL JESUS RETURNS MY HEART WILL YEARN
TO PRAISE AND TO WORSHIP YOU
IN A LAND
AND WITH A PEOPLE THAT I LOVE.
