The King of Babylon Besieged

The king of Babylon besieged

Nebuchadnezzar besieged;

God gave Jerusalem to his hand —

And vessels from His house so grand;

The king of Babylon besieged.

Captured in Babylon

we’re captured!

God has allowed us to be captured.

Their strange gods are gold and stone

Not like Jehovah

the living one.

Captured in Babylon

we’re captured!

God gave us knowledge and insight

God gave!

God gave us learning and wisdom

God gave!

Understanding dreams

interpreting visions

Riddle declaring

problem resolving;

God gave surpassing wisdom

God gave!

Diff’rent

we don’t care that we’re diff’rent!

Diff’rent

we’re glad that we are diff’rent!

Just like Daniel set his heart —

We always choose the better part!

We’re diff’rent

and we’re glad that we are diff’rent!
