### **Verse 1** *I was born a slave in Egypt, but I'm free now, standing tall* *Moses' aide and faithful servant, I have answered duty's call* *When the twelve spies went to Canaan, only Caleb and I believed* *"We can take the land!" we shouted, but the people were deceived* ### **Verse 2** *Forty years we've wandered, waiting for that faithless generation* *Now they're gone, and we're standing at the edge of our salvation* *Moses laid his hands upon me, passed the mantle, passed the flame* *Now Jehovah speaks directly: "Joshua, lead them in My name"* ### **Chorus** *"Be courageous and strong* *Do not be afraid* *For Jehovah your God is with you* *Wherever you go, don't be dismayed"* *I will lead them over Jordan* *I will bring down Jericho's walls* *Be courageous and strong* *When Jehovah calls* ### **Verse 3** *The Jordan's at flood stage, but the priests step in the flow* *The waters pile up upstream, and we cross on ground below* *Twelve stones from the riverbed, a memorial we raise* *"Tell your children of this miracle, give Jehovah all the praise"* ### **Bridge** *March around the city, seven days we'll walk* *Don't say a word, just march in silence, let the trumpets talk* *On the seventh day, seven times around we'll go* *Then shout! And watch Jehovah bring the walls down low* ### **Verse 4** *The sun stood still at Gibeon, the moon in Aijalon's vale* *Jehovah fought for Israel, we could not fail* *From the north to the south, we took the Promised Land* *Every tribe received their portion from Jehovah's hand* ### **Final Verse** *Now I'm old and advanced in years, I gather Israel near* *"Choose this day whom you will serve," I make it crystal clear* *"As for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah true"* *And the people answer back: "We will serve Him too"* *I'm buried in my inheritance, my mission is complete* *Caleb stands beside me, our victory is sweet*
