The King of Babylon Besieged

1
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.
2
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!
3
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!
4
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!
