12 Comments


When Jesus came down; He came down from Heaven
When He landed; He landed in Israel
But when there was trouble; He came down to Africa
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African way
(Repeat)

There was a King whose name was Herod
He wanted to kill all the children
But then Jesus came down; He came down to Africa
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African way
(Repeat)

None one could touch Him, ’cause He is the Son of God
No one could kill Him, ’cause He is the King of Kings
His name is Jesus, Jesus the Savior
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African way
(Repeat)

Arise Africa arise!…
