BLACK AFRICA
by
OYIBO AGHOGHO
It's in my blood
Black cologne
For God so loved Africa
He gave us black skin
Whoever smells this scent
Will understand his identity
And never be lost
Africa, my identity
That Christ may dwell in my heart by faith
And I be rooted and planted in my
blackness
I am black
It is my colour
It does not denote dirt
It does not denote evil nor ignorance
It depicts perfection of God's beautiful wisdom in creation
I am black
It has nothing to do with my heart and mental capacity
Christ is my Colour
He is my blackness
I am black
I am Africa
And am proud to be black!
