Belshazzar

INTRO:

1. Well the Bible tells us about a man

Who ruled Babylon and all it's land

Around the city he built a wall

And declared that Babylon would never fall

He had concubines and wives

He called his Babylon "Paradise"

On his throne he drank and ate

But for Belshazzer it was getting late

R: For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His houses were built upon the sand

SOLO:

2. The people feast and drank their wine

And praised the false gods of his time

All holy things were scorned and mocked

But suddenly all their mocking stopped

For on the wall there appeared a hand

Nothing else, there was no man

And but, the hand began to write

And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright

R: For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting...

SOLO:

3. Well no one around could understand

What was written by the mystic hand

Belshazzar tried but couldn't find

A man who could give him piece of mind

But Daniel the prophet, the man of God

He saw the writing on the wall in blood

Belshazzar asked him what it said

And Daniel turned to the wall and read

R: "My friend your weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand

Your weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your houses were built upon the sand"
