        ZION IN THE MIDST OF BABYLON
Babylon is all around us almost everywhere we need to go,
Can we let the pure light of Zion bravely and willingly show?
Are the grasping fangs of Babylon pulling us very slowly away,
Or do we have the strength to stand strong ever single day?

Zion the truly beautiful and Zion who are the pure in heart,
Can we stand firm as a rock every moment do our little part?
Stand up and be counted and turn away from Babylonian sin
And every important battle always manage to finally win.

Babylon lurks on the television, computers and on stage we see
All what others call normal, but to Zion are corrupt as they can be,
Signs on City streets can even start to lead us one day to go astray,
Let us always choose the Zion path and send Babylon far away.

The gospel’s truth can teach us and be always our guiding light,
Each of us being Zion be always pure in heart a wondrous sight
We’ll be a place of refuge when sin’s storm rages with it’s might
As we shun tempting Babylon and for purity and truth forever fight.
