City Down Below Paroles

He was gonna rain the citywide with brimstone and hail



Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered view

Abraham stepped forward to ask God a thing or two

Pointing out the chance that there might be an upright man

Living there in Sodom, dear old Abraham began



Chorus

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



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 encouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind

Abraham went further still before He changed His mind



Chorus (..if there’s 40 righteous men)



This request was granted surely, Mighty God had spoken true

He’d forgive them all the folly if they found the holy few

But Abraham protested there might be a couple less

God please don’t be angry if I make another guess



Chorus (..if there’s 30, 20, 10)



Well, nowadays it seems like we can do just as we please

And no one’s gonna stop us now 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 to walk again

Would You save this city down below, down below

Would You save this wicked city down below
