Comforted in My Exile

My work, my life here worthy
comforted in my exile
in the words of the prophet
trusting in the plan of God
all I do may be in his service
if given to the Lord

Each of us a missionary
all witnesses to his power
each with a story to share
of his abiding love
the mercy of his grace
the story of us all

Speaking to the Captives

In the land of Babylon
away from their homes
a message for the people
God speaking to the captives

Living well in the land
growing as a people
sons and daughters to raise
gardens, food to grow

So we in the present,
refugees, strangers
believers in an alien land
maintaining fidelity with God

Trusting in his goodness
faithful in our days
believing in his steadfast love
following in his servant ways
