Made in Africa

For believing as we do
That glory will come in the morning
We, the sons and daughters of God
Our tomorrow is secured
Our destiny guaranteed
Though my faith be without works
And righteousness without humility
I too Sir, I have bought my salvation
Paid for over time
In instalments of tenths
Through brokers – preachers
Merchants of deliverance
Yet we still believe in the old promise
Of truth and justice, of peace and plenty
Of Heaven, angels and souls in melody
What else would you have us do?

Summoned to this bustling bazaar
Where everything is for sale
Allow me Sir to tell you a tale
A story made in Africa
Where children go to war
Where the men die young
Where the rich take their wives
And their daughters too
But our faith is unshaken
That glory will come tomorrow
That our dreams will come through
The fallen will rise, be honoured
Our sins will be forgiven
Our souls sanctified
What else would you have us do?
Us, wanderers, saints and bandits
Sons and daughters of God.
