Inspired by Psalm 137
Lyrics
Psalm 137 My Highest Joy
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat and wept
When we remembered Zion
We choked on our regrets
By the rivers of Babylon
Babylon
We hung up our guitars 'For Sale'
In a Babylonian streeet bazaar
If I forget you, Jerusalem
or let another song,another song
my voice and skills employ
Should I forget you, Jerusalem
or place another love, another love
above my highest joy
or place another love, another love
above my highest joy
In the gardens of Babylon
We hung our heads and cried
How can wee sing the Lord's song
with this emptiness inside
In the gardens of Babylon
Babylon
How can we sing the 'Song of the Lord'
While in this pagan land, this pagan land
This pagan land
If I forget you, Jerusalem
or let another song,another song
my voice and skills employ
Should I forget you, Jerusalem
or place another love, another love
above my highest joy
or place another love, another love
above my highest joy
