In Babylon

 I'm just a lonely soul

looking for a home

a place to belong

Lift up your hands to the east

towards the rising sun

over the mountains of Zion

Remember yesterdays and the years that are gone

before I came to this great island

they call Babylon

I'm just a lonely soul

looking for my home

the place where I belong

Mother Zion, hear your children's voices

for we are coming home.

You are a Prince of God

Israel 

You are a chosen people 

O Jacob

You are a strong and noble people

the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

Behold, the world was made for our sakes ( 2 Esdras 6:55,56, Romans 9:10-16)

The Lie

If this is true, why then are you not on top?

Why do you suffer pain, humiliation, degradation, exploitation, and you stand at the brink of annihilation?

God has forsaken you! ( Psalm 83:1-18, Zec. 11:5)

I believed the lie. And an enemy made me forget the Truth! 

-Matt. 13:24-26, Matt. 13:37-39, Matt. 4:3, Matt. 27:39,40,43

Now what was strong is weak

and what was noble is vile

what was royal is common

One chase a thousand

and two put ten thousand to flight( Deut. 32:30)

Why, even the falling leaves in autumn causes us to shake with terror( Lev. 26:36)

The Truth & Comfort 

But lies can't live forever

and Truth always surfaces to the top again!

And it gathers up her children that were lost( Matt. 18:11)

-Matt. 18: 12,13,14

Zarach

Off the top

 Off the top 

Right from the heart

It's  like a dark tunnel 

A broken and abandoned home

Makes me wonder if there's any joy in the future 

Hold on says the preacher

Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day 

You must have faith

Because, if hope leaves, then love can't enter.

-Zarach 

John 12:35

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness comes upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goeth.
