JOSHUA

Joshua After Moses had departed, the Lord spoke loud and clear “Joshua, son of Nun, be strong and have no fear Moses My servant is dead — now you shall take his place Rise and cross the Jordan, lead My people to their inheritance” The river stood like a wall when the priests stepped in the stream The waters rose in heaps as the people walked between Jericho’s walls came crashing with the blast of ram’s horn sound Seven days of marching — then the city tumbled down Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid For the Lord your God is with you, every step you take Into the promised land, the battles will be won The Lord fights for His people — the victory has come The sun stood still in heaven as they fought at Gibeon The hailstones fell like judgment on the kings who rose as one From the ruins of Ai to the valleys far and wide Joshua claimed the land as the Lord stood by his side He divided the inheritance among the tribes with care Cities of refuge, altars built, the covenant declared An old man now, with battles won and years upon his face He challenged all of Israel: “Choose this day whom you will serve” Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid For the Lord your God is with you, every step you take Into the promised land, the battles will be won The Lord fights for His people — the victory has come Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid For the Lord your God is with you, every step you take Into the promised land, the battles will be won The Lord fights for His people — the victory has come
