Greetings all, I am @nsigo1 and I am happy to participate In this week contest and I will be doing a popular gospel song " By the Rivers of Babylon "
Motivation Behind the Song
I know there are a lot of motivation to this song depending on who is writing it, and the lyrics means a lot to different people. But I must say, for me it's the lyrics of the song and the tone of the song when it is being presented especially in an ACAPELLA form and being rendered by all the parts . Especially the bass party.
LYRICS OF THE SONG
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Requiring from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Requiring from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouths
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight be tonight
Let the words of our mouths
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight be tonight
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down
There we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (prophets of Babylon)
Where we sat down (you gotta sing the song)
Yeah, we wept (sing a song of love)
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (prophets of Babylon)
Where we sat down (you hear the people cry)
There he wept (they need the power)
When he remembered Zion (ooh, got the power)
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down
Yeah. there we wept....
