Reclaiming Land

Land, land, land our treasure
God gave us land to till
God gave us seeds to sow in the land
Whose land is it anyway?
Land, land, land our treasure

Land, land, land our treasure
Some call it the land of our ancestors
Some call it the land of the Great Spirits
The Empire has taken the land for itself
But the land is our land, our treasure

God has created the earth and all its fullness
Land, land, land: this treasure belongs to God
We all belong to God as land belongs to God
Come share with him, her, me this treasure
Land, land, land our treasure

Economy depends on our land
Our future as Africa depends on this treasure
Our fears concerning our economy and future are real – why steal our land, our treasure?
Why sell and privatise our land, our treasure?

God, bless our land, your land, our treasure
God, quench the fires of human greed that inspire the privatising of land
God grant us strength and wisdom to be good stewards of the land
Land, land, land our treasure
