Speaking to the Captives by Raymond A. Foss

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
