Transform me, Lord
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of Your Love and Mercies,
For I feel like an illiterate child,
Eager to know the mysteries of words hidden in Your book.
God said, "Go to Ghana, girl."
See schools where there is no paper bound in cover.
Let the people of Ghana be your book.
Listen to their stories of struggle.
I will not bring you mysteries to read, but rather miracles to be lived
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Transform me Lord,
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of Your Love and Mercies,
For at times I feel so helpless in my quest.
God said, "Go to Ghana, girl."
Ghanaian mother with near-death child,
Waits for you to help her.
Bring her to the hospital, hurry!
Learn of my Love and Mercies,
And you will feel helpless never more.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Transform me, Lord.
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of your Love and Mercies, .
For at times, I feel so alone in my darkened room.
God said, "Go to Ghana, girl."
Love the lonely leper,
Left by all family and friends in despair.
Share an embrace as brother and sister.
Let them know you care.
Learn of my Love and Mercies,
And feel alone no more.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Transform me, Lord.
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of Your Love and Mercies,
For joy has left my step and sorrow marks my tread.
God said, "Go to Ghana girl."
Go to Ghana where bongos will bang a rhythm to catch your feet with fire.
And song will soar on high to lift your heart with desire.
Dance in step with the Ghanaians,
Who give with a happy heart.
And the joy from your step will never depart.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Transform me Lord,
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of Your Love and Mercies,
For sometimes I feel trapped without hope.
God said, "Go to Ghana, girl."
Walk with the refugees and let them tell their tale,
Trapped with no home to return to,
Living in camps surrounded by bars of hopelessness, as if in a jail.
Pray with the refugee as you walk side by side.
And share in a faith that will not fail.
Learn of my Love and Mercies,
And your heart will be free from hopelessness evermore.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Transform me, Lord.
Take me to another level.
Teach me more of Your Love and Mercies
For sometimes, I feel as though the world has done me wrong.
God said, "Go to Ghana, girl."
Where the slave castles cast their shadows on sandy shores.
Smell the residue of death and rape done to humanity.
Open the dungeon doors and set the spirits free.
Morn the life lost and Forgive the evil done,
But never let it be,
Forgotten.
Learn of my Love and Mercies
And let the world do wrong no more.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed.
Go to Ghana, girl.
Let me take you to another level.
Let me teach you of my Love and Mercies.
Take the trip to Ghana, girl and you will be transformed
