I was inspired by the Lord to compose this song about the African revival we are witnessing right now through our A-Team's ministries in Uganda, Nigeria, and South Sudan. This is a tribute to the Lord for what He is doing. I wrote the lyrics and then got AI to help me produce the song. It modified my lyrics a bit, and it didn't do a perfect job with everything. It left out the children's voices for the part that is supposed to be the children's choir. Also it did not properly sing the chorus section that the men, women and children were supposed to sing together, and it left out the outro. But hopefully you brothers can get the churches to learn to sing this song.
I wanted a vibrant, African-style worship song with jubilant shouting and praise to God with one section of this song sung by the women, then one section sung by the men, and another section sung by the Children's Choir about what God is doing in Africa -- in Nigeria, Uganda, and South Sudan. The chorus is to be sung by everyone including men women and children. However, as I said, the way it produced the song, it left out Everyone singing the Chorus together and the Children's section was sung by an adult woman instead of many children.
The song should have the following instruments playing: the mbira (thumb piano), and marimba. Shekere (gourd rattles), udu (clay pot drums), and agogo (double bells), and a Korg keyboard.
You can watch it on Youtube or watch it right here on this blog post below, and you can also download the audio file here.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1 - Women]
The servants of the Lord are going forth
Boldly proclaiming that gospel! (hey!)
Declaring the coming of the Lord
Anointed by His Spirit The Lord is working with them mightily
Confirming His word through signs and wonders (oh!)
Healing and miracles
Setting captives free Making the blind to see
The deaf to hear
The lame to walk (hallelujah!)
People are being set free
From chains of darkness
The Lord is pouring out His Spirit It's raining in Africa (it's raining!)
It's raining in Africa (oh yes!)
It's raining in Africa!
[Verse 2 - Men]
The saints are praising You, Lord (eh!)
Lifting up our voices to You
Our prayers ascending to Your throne like incense
Our worship rising too (rising too!)
With hands lifted up
And tears streaming down
We're crying out to You with all our hearts
You brought us out of darkness into Your light (into Your light!)
We've departed from iniquity
Doing what is right
You're bringing down the strongholds (hey!)
Forcefully advancing Your kingdom
Rescuing souls
Setting captives free
Praise You Lord (we praise You Lord!)
Praise You Lord (we praise You Lord!)
Praise You Lord!
[Verse 3 - Children's Choir]
O praise You, Jesus!
Lord You are great
And You are doing miracles (miracles!)
The Mamas and the Papas are rejoicing in You
The little children are rejoicing too
And singing! (la la la!)
Our families are together once again
In Nigeria(hey!)
In Uganda(hey!)
In South Sudan (hey hey hey!)
We love You, Lord
We thank You, Lord
It's raining now in Africa(oh oh!)
The rain of Your Spirit in Africa!
[Chorus - Everyone]
We praise You! (we praise You!)
We praise You! (we praise You!)
We praise You! (oh!)
How awesome You are (how awesome!)
How awesome You are (how awesome!)
How awesome You are!
You're bringing in the harvest
You deserve all the glory
Forever and ever (forever!)
[Outro - Everyone]
Forever and ever (hey! hey! hey!)
Forever and ever
All the glory... all the glory...It's raining in Africa!

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
