Why should a man carry God and fail?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and cry?
Why?

(Sing) It was a beautiful African Sunday
Man them dress up in them three-piece suit
and the beautiful colours of the African prince
I was glad when they said to me, "Come,
make we go into the house of God" on that Sunday morning
It was a Sunday morning
Jubilation in my heart as I join the congregation
Oh, what a revelation when the preacherman flow

(Hear me now)
I know the church is a beautiful place
But what I saw was way out of place
Why should you hunger in the midst of plenty?
Why?
Why should you thirst in the middle of the river? Tell me why?
Tell me why?

Why should a man carry God and cry?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and fail?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and cry?
Why?

Behold, it's a mystery now
Behold, it's a mystery, it's a mystery
Ask and receive that your joy may be full
(Oh na na)
Ask and receive, let your joy overflow ni
'Cos if He died to set me free,
reason with yourself - WHY SHOULD I BE BOUND?
If He died to set me from lack and want, then WHY SHOULD I BE POOR?

Why should a man carry God and fail?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and fail?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and cry?
Why?

It was a beautiful African Sunday
The people dress up like there's no tomorrow
Looking good and looking so dandy
I was glad when they said to me, "Come,
make we go into the house of God" on that Sunday morning
Said it was a Sunday morning
Na so so jubilation inna me heart as I join the congregation
Oh, what a revelation when the preacherman flow

(Yes)
I know the church is a beautiful place
But what I saw was way out of place
Why should you drown when the Captain of your ship is
the one who calms the storm and walks upon the water?

Why should a man carry God and drown?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and fail?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and fear
Why?
Why should a man carry God and die?
Why?
Why should a man carry God and cry?
Why?

Behold, it's a mystery now
Behold, it's a mystery, it's a mystery...
