This song always brings a smile to my face 😊 Every instrument on this song was recorded live. Jesus came for all people’s including the citizens of Africa, a place where God the Father placed him when King Herod sought to kill the saviour of the whole world.

Lyrics

THE KING OF AFRICA

This is the story of the lamb
So many still misunderstand
Who died for the sins of all mankind
And restores sight to the blind

For Jesus makes the people sing
His Presence makes the people dance
Father! teach us to number our days
For Lord by Your grace we are saved

King of Africa x 2
Called forth by God
To rescue man

King of Africa
You are never far
He loves us still
Citizens of Africa

Hola everybody
Praise belongs to Him x 2
Glory to the Lamb x 2

And so, the rescue plan began
To redeem the fallen race of man
And to all who call upon His name
The pearly gates await

For Jesus makes the people sing
His Presence makes the people dance
Father! teach us to number our days
For Lord by Your grace we are saved

King of Africa x 2
Called forth by God
To rescue man

King of Africa
You are never far
He us loves still
Citizens of Africa

Hola everybody
Praise belongs to Him x 2
Glory to the Lamb x 2

For Jesus makes the people sing
His Presence makes the people dance
Father please teach us to number our days
For Lord we are saved by Your grace

King of Africa x 2
Called forth by God
To rescue man

King of Africa
You are never far
He us loves still
Citizens of Africa
