By The Rivers of Babylon
by Matthew Clark
The endless voices whisper,
all our hopes are only dreams
No Deliverer is coming,
that we are blind in our belief
but in the land where we all sojourn,
with its beauty and its ash
I will sing still for the Kingdom
and a King who’s coming back
CHORUS
by the rivers of Babylon
we will sing a gospel song in a foreign land
While the nations all are raging,
hear the Lord in heaven laugh
we will stand upon his promise,
the ways of men will never last,
and like a seed is to a tree,
in the twinkling of an eye
we will see the heavens open,
we will meet him in the sky
CHORUS
BRIDGE
there will be no word for lonely
In the Kingdom Jesus brings
Every fear shall be forgotten
and all will be made clean
all the merciful will know him
The pure will touch his face
See the children bear his banner
and the slandered share his name
Soon the river of our exile
Will become a holy spring
While the bent tree with its bitter fruit
It will never grow again
Now, the face that showed us kindness
Met our thirst by Jacob’s well
He will clothe us in his garments
He will marry us himself
