City Down Below
Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promised land
God revealed to Abraham the judgement he had planned
For the wicked fallen people there who lived down in the bale
He was going to rain the city wide with brimstone and hail
Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered veiw
Abraham stepped forward to ask God a thing or two
Pointing out the chance there might be an upright man
Living there in Sodom dear old Abraham began
Would you give them one more chance Father please
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
But if there's fifty righteous men will you stop and think again
Would you spare that city down below, down below
Would you spare that wicked city down below
Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand
If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land
So incouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind
Abraham went further still before he changed his mind
Would you give them one more chance Father please
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
But if there's fourty righteous men will you stop and think again
Would you spare that city down below, down below
Would you spare that wicked city down below
This request was granted surely mighty God had spoken true
He'd forgive all the fooly if they found the holy few
But Abraham pertested there might be a couple less
God please don't be angry if I make another guess
Would you give them one more chance Father please
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
But if there's thirty, twenty, ten will you stop and think again
Would you spare that city down below, down below
Would you spare that wicked city down below
Well now a days it seems like we can do just as we please
No one's gonna stop us or force us to our knees
It seems like we've forgotten that the God of Canaan's land
Is still the judge of heaven holding mercy in his hand
So would you give us one more chance Father please
For I know we've sinned against your just decrees
But if you save these broken men we'll rise up and walk again
Would you save this city down below, down below
Would you save this wicked city down below
God revealed to Abraham the judgement he had planned
For the wicked fallen people there who lived down in the bale
He was going to rain the city wide with brimstone and hail
Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered veiw
Abraham stepped forward to ask God a thing or two
Pointing out the chance there might be an upright man
Living there in Sodom dear old Abraham began
Would you give them one more chance Father please
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
But if there's fifty righteous men will you stop and think again
Would you spare that city down below, down below
Would you spare that wicked city down below
Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand
If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land
So incouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind
Abraham went further still before he changed his mind
Would you give them one more chance Father please
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees

Would you spare that wicked city down below

For I know we've sinned against your just decrees
But if you save these broken men we'll rise up and walk again
Would you save this city down below, down below
Would you save this wicked city down below
