Daily Meditation: Rivers Of Babylon

Daily Meditation: Rivers Of Babylon We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these Daily Meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.



Today's meditation features a song performed by reggae group The Melodians. "Rivers of Babylon" conjures nostalgia for a long distant and beloved land.







Rivers of Babylon



By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

Yeah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

Yeeah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked

Carried us away in captivity

Required from us a song

Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked

Carried us away in captivity

Requiring of us a song

Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart

Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts

Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

Yeah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
