HIGH AND MIGHTY
(Based on Gen. 11:1-9)
God’s people started to build,
T’ward heaven a very tall tower.
Thinking they’d make a name for themselves,
And flaunt their might and power.
The nation had one language,
Where the Tower of Babel was at.
The Lord confused their speech and then,
New languages happened after that.
Too much might and power,
Can be a destructive thing.
God in His infinite wisdom,
Knew the harm it would bring.
So don’t get high and mighty,
If you build your dreams in the sky;
A lofty attitude is hated,
By The Almighty on High.

The Tower of Babel was located in what would later become the city of Babylon, which is now Iraq. Babel means "confusion" because of the various languages that took place there.
