Stepping Out of Babylon

When I think of all the bitter times I've had
Oh god it doesn't make me sad
Oh no it doesn't bother me
Strength and honour is all I see

Oh give thanks unto the Almighty One
He showed me what I had, he said
Stand firm and keep the faith
Oh your reward should be great
And now I see the day

When I'm steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem, in Mount Zion
Steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem, in Mount Zion
Steppin out of Babylon one by one, steppin in Mount Zion
Steppin out of Babylon one by one, steppin in Mount Zion
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon

I've got no alternative (in a Babylon)
But I know yes, I know (there's a Mount Zion)
But oh some day his children will find the way
So get up, get up and don't let the devil lead you astray

I'm steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem, in Mount Zion
Steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem, in Mount Zion
Steppin out of Babylon one by one, steppin in Mount Zion
Steppin out of Babylon one by one, steppin in Mount Zion

Oh give thanks unto the Almighty One
He showed me what I had, he said
Stand firm and keep the faith
Oh your reward should be great
And now I see the day

When I'm steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem,c
Steppin' out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem, in Mount Zion
Steppin out of Babylon one by one, steppin in Mount Zion
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon, in Mount Zion
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon (sing it sing it sing sing a Zion)
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon (sing it sing it sing sing a Zion)
Steppin, steppin, steppin out a Babylon (sing it sing it sing sing a Zion)
Steppin in Mount Zion
