Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promised land God revealed to Abraham the judgement he had planned For the wicked fallen people there who lived down in the bale He was going to rain the city wide with brimstone and hail Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered veiw Abraham stepped forward to ask God a thing or two Pointing out the chance there might be an upright man Living there in Sodom dear old Abraham began Would you give them one more chance Father please For I know they've sinned against your just decrees But if there's fifty righteous men will you stop and think again Would you spare that city down below, down below 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 incouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind Abraham went further still before he changed his mind Would you give them one more chance Father please For I know they've sinned against your just decrees But if there's fourty righteous men will you stop and think again Would you spare that city down below, down below Would you spare that wicked city down below This request was granted surely mighty God had spoken true He'd forgive all the fooly if they found the holy few But Abraham pertested there might be a couple less God please don't be angry if I make another guess Would you give them one more chance Father please For I know they've sinned against your just decrees But if there's thirty, twenty, ten will you stop and think again Would you spare that city down below, down below Would you spare that wicked city down below Well now a days it seems like we can do just as we please No one's gonna stop us 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 and walk again Would you save this city down below, down below Would you save this wicked city down below
