Prayer for Africa (Stewart)

You were the first of God’s creations
You are the continent where time itself began
You were a Mother to all nations
We are your children
And this is our prayer

God bless Africa
Guard her children
Guide her rulers
And give her peace
God bless Africa
Hear our prayer, Nkosi.

Deep inside you your pain is burning
You have sacrificed yourself
You have suffered in your silence
We watch in fear as your anger rises
Forgotten by a world that keeps on turning

God bless Africa
Guard her children
Guide her rulers
And give her peace
God bless Africa
Hear our prayer, Nkosi.

Let me be the light that you shine into the world
Let me be your inspiration

You were the first of God’s creations
We are your children
And this is our prayer

God bless Africa
Guard her children
Guide her rulers
And give her peace (Hear our prayer, Nkosi)
God bless Africa (Hear our prayer, Nkosi)
Let me be the light that you shine into the world (Hear our prayer, Nkosi)
Hear our prayer, hear our prayer, Nkosi
Hear our prayer
Let me be your inspiration
