🎤 Psalm 137 Song - Rivers of Babylon [OLD VERSION]

Sheet Music: Patreon: iTunes: Spotify: ----- Boney M has made this psalm famous, so many people know the title “By the Rivers of Babylon,“ even if they don’t realize that it’s a lyric taken from Psalm 137. I’ve tried to do what I always do; to faithfully stick to the original words of the ancient Psalm, even if the words seem awkward to sing, violent, “unchristian,“ or generally inappropriate. I think it’s more important to stick to the original intent of the lyricist / psalmist, and try to understand where they were coming from than it is to be politically correct and lose the original intent. These words mean a lot to me because I’m a musician, and I’ve found myself in a type of captivity or exile. #scripturesongs
