African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Pidgin, English)

He say make we walk, we dey walk
He say make we blow, we dey blow
He say make we shout, we dey shout
But we never knew the walls were coming down

It was just faith, it was just trust
We were just moving at the sound of His Word
It was just faith, it was just blind trust
We never knew the walls were coming down (Repeat)

Refrain:
No be say we sabi or we sharp like so
Na anything He talk, we just dey do am go
No be say we sabi or we sharp like so
Na anything He talk, we just dey do am go (Repeat)

We were still young at the time, and our parents were dead and gone
They got the promise but they didn’t believe God to lead them on
Doubting and murmuring, all these years
Put the Nation on a standstill for forty years
Now a generation is gone, just like that!
And it’s our turn, just like that!
Moses is gone, a new sheriff in town
Joshua is the name, gotta get used to him now
He comes through, says God has spoken:
“We’ll walk round the city, not for one day but seven”
This time o, no room for doubting
Learn from our parents’ mistakes, no doubting
Fully believing, fully believing
Eni gboju l’Oluwa o le pofo (He who puts trust in God cannot fail)
We stay believing

(Refrain)
