A Song for Kenya

Kenya - a beautiful and rare jewel that we must refine and polish for all to see and delight in. Kenya my country I bleed for you, a gnawing pain in my heart as I see your potential, what you can be if only the obstacles could melt away...

Kenya my country
Delight my heart
Comfort me in my sorrow
Tell me there’s hope
That soon not later
We shall awake to something new
Something good and beautiful
Something real

That we shall cross over
And be them that give
Not the other way round
Be the pride and envy
Of those around us
Possess for ourselves
What we admire in others

Kenya my country
Respond to all the prayers
And rise from the ashes
To bud and to flourish
Rouse yourself from surrender
And take on new strength
Strength to grow and to change
Strength to be all you can be
Strength to stand tall
Strength to be whom God meant you to be
