Taking our youth to Babylon – v2

God is jealous, righteous
demanding our faithfulness;
love for our neighbors
and focus on God

A bully and a braggart
pillaging the Temple;
taking out the sacred things
to praise other gods

Taking our youth to Babylon
far from the Temple;
seeking to change them
to praise other gods

Drinking from the golden cups
that the priests used in worship;
using the sacred things
to praise other gods

God’s hand upon the wall
writing out His judgment;
Your time will soon be up
your candle snuffed out
