Rivers of Babylon
(Psalm 137) Written in a dry time, as our friend Jan
Garven walked through trials and chose to proclaim the faithfulness and goodness
of God.

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept -
When we
remembered Zion
Upon the willows here we've hung our harps
How can we
sing the songs of Zion?
How can we sing the songs of Zion?
How can we sing the songs of the Lord
In a foreign land how
can we sing for joy
If I forget you, oh Jerusalem
(2nd chorus: Your love
and faithfulness)
May my lips forget how to sing,
May My hands forget how
to play this instrument
I will sing the songs of the Lord.
In a foreign land yet I
will sing for joy
I will proclaim your love and faithfulness -
For You
are good, Your word is true
And I will put my hope in You and sing! (the
songs of the Lord)
You are faithful, you are faithful, Lord
Your
love endures forever,
Your love endures forevermore
