By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
...
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
..
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
...
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
...
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
...
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
...
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
there we sat down (You got to sing a song)
ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
when we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
...
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry)
ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

Reflection
This song actually came out from the scriptures when the children of Israel were made to sing there beautiful song, they see it as a shame and a taboo to sing the Lords song in a strange land.
This song without its melody rings of occasions where a child of God cannot find a situation to be so happy in to sing praises to God.
Many of us belong to this situation, so also am I, but this song admonish us to sing it, even inside that tribulation and trials, sing God's song, despite the challenges raging at you, sing God's song aloud and you'll see the Jericho wall crumbles.
