A fearful place that old Babylon

Where God’s people were taken captive

Under the thumb of old Nebuchadnezzar

Tossed to the lions and into a furnace of fire

But if you go there today, only ruins now stand

Abandoned in the barren, blistering desert

 

His enemies vanquished under His feet, Christ is victorious!

 

A frightening place, that old Rome

Where God’s people were beaten and scorned

For not bowing the knee to mighty Caesar

Fed to the lions and the gladiator’s sword

The Romans even nailed God’s Son to a tree

Today you can tour the ancient ruins for fifteen bucks

 

His enemies vanquished under His feet, Christ is victorious!

 

How terrifying is that old flesh

The man you once were, enslaved to sin

Driven by idolatry, greed, hatred, and lust

Though we yet face temptations and trials

We are being refined through these fires

As He sanctifies us, He puts the old man to death

 

His enemies vanquished under His feet, Christ is victorious!
