Babylon
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Come into Babylon
If you dare.
My people are taken led to despair.
I am gracious I'll show then the way,
Back to Jerusalem,
On my paths will stay.
With righteous judgement I'll give them the call,
And under my wings shall be safe from the fall.
So hear my child
I'll wash you clean
From the filth of the nations
You will be redeemed.
