When Jesus came down; He came down from
Heaven
When He landed; He landed in Israel
But when there was trouble; He came down to
Africa
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African
way
There was a King whose name was Herod
He wanted to kill all the children
But then Jesus came down; He came down to
Africa
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African
way
None one could touch Him, ?cause He is the Son
of God
No one could kill Him, ?cause He is the King of
Kings
His name is Jesus, Jesus the Savior
So we must praise Him; Praise Him in an African
way
(Repeat)
Arise Africa arise!?

Solly Mahlangu's song 'Praise Him in an African Way' is a joyful call to worship Jesus with African cultural expression. The lyrics creatively imagine Jesus coming to Africa during times of trouble, referencing His birth and Herod's threat. The song emphasizes Jesus' identity as the Son of God and King of Kings, and invites listeners to praise Him in an African style. It blends biblical narrative with a celebration of African heritage, encouraging believers to worship God authentically from their own cultural context.
