Leader: consider adding a drum beat or the sound of a horn to begin this call to worship.

Come! People all over the world.

Come! Africa is calling!

Respond to Africa, the mother of life.

As a mother calling her children back home,

so too Africa is calling.

Come out of your bondage and slavery;

come out of your oppression and exploitation;

come out of human induced poverty and disease;

come to the God of life.

Come Nkulunkulu, the God who is high up above all.

Come to Modimo warona, God who dwells high above.

Together we shall praise the name of the most high God;

God will hear us, as God heard Kwama Nkrumah of old.

The undying Spirit that fought until the door of liberation was opened for Ghana

and revived hope for Africa.

God will hear us as He/She listened to Haile Selasse

and restored Ethiopia, the home of Africa.

The God of Nelson Mandela will hear us

as we steadfastly strive for peace and reconciliation.

Daughters and sons, Africa calls us home

to invoke God’s love, power, sustenance, strength,

our ancestors, ubuntu, unity, and love.

Come divine God, come!
