Psalms 137:1-4
By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our lyres. For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
Homily:
I met this passage in Boney M’s classic, before I read it in the bible. It is one of those songs that takes me back to the back seat of my dad’s car.
Till date I cannot read it without singing and moving my shoulders to the tune.
