Joshua Aaron's 'Bring Us Back' is a worship song inspired by Psalm 137, expressing the longing of the Israelites in exile. The lyrics depict weeping by the rivers of Babylon, remembering Zion, and the struggle to sing the Lord's song in a foreign land. The chorus pleads for restoration, and the tag includes a Hebrew phrase from Psalm 137:5 about not forgetting Jerusalem. The song connects to themes of repentance, hope, and God's faithfulness in restoring His people.

Verse 1

By the rivers of Babylon

Here we sit and weep

Remembering days in Zion singing the Lord?s song


Verse 2

On the willows we hung our harps

Captives wishing to be free

They ask us to sing with gladness

The songs of Zion


Chorus

Bring us back, bring us back

How can we sing in a foreign land

Bring is back

Chorus

Bring us back, bring us back

How can we sing in a foreign land

Bring us back
