Great Is His Name (Babel)
Well, way back in Babel on the plains of Shinar
People got together to build a big tower
That would stretch to the heavens, well, they just couldn't wait
To have a tower in a city and a name that was great
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord, for great is his name
Well, day after day and hour after hour
The folks back in Babel used their bricks for a tower
They were evil and proud and the Lord they forsook
So God made them all speak in gobbledegook
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord, for great is his name
Well, the people back in Babel built up a lofty tower
Down, down it came by God's almighty power
Babbling and jabbling because of all their pride
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
Well, Babel is long gone, but some things don't change
People are still trying to build a great name
But just like in Babel, as you sow, you shall reap
If you leave out the Lord you will fall in a heap
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord for great is his name
The people back in Babel built up a lofty tower
Down, down it came by God's almighty power
Babbling and jabbling because of all their pride
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
People got together to build a big tower
That would stretch to the heavens, well, they just couldn't wait
To have a tower in a city and a name that was great
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord, for great is his name
Well, day after day and hour after hour
The folks back in Babel used their bricks for a tower
They were evil and proud and the Lord they forsook
So God made them all speak in gobbledegook
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord, for great is his name
Well, the people back in Babel built up a lofty tower
Down, down it came by God's almighty power
Babbling and jabbling because of all their pride
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
Well, Babel is long gone, but some things don't change
People are still trying to build a great name
But just like in Babel, as you sow, you shall reap
If you leave out the Lord you will fall in a heap
But if glory and honour and power are your aim
Well, whatever you are building, you are building in vain
For glory and honour and power and fame
Belong to the Lord, for great is his name
Sing to the Lord for great is his name
The people back in Babel built up a lofty tower
Down, down it came by God's almighty power
Babbling and jabbling because of all their pride
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
Those people back in Babel were scattered far and wide
