[Intro] Let heaven lean close. Let earth keep the record. [Verse 1] At one hundred twenty, Moses names the river He will see from the mountain and never pass over. Joshua stands where the whole camp can witness: Be firm; the LORD goes ahead of your feet. Priests take the law for the seventh-year reading; Children and strangers must listen and learn. [Interlude] A cloud holds the doorway. A warning enters the tent. A song is appointed To outlive forgetfulness. [Verse 2] My doctrine descends as the small rain on grass; The Rock, His work perfect, His judgment all truth. He found them in waste where the desert wind circled, Kept them as the eye, spread a wing like the eagle, Led them alone into honey and increase, Then Jeshurun fattened and kicked at his Maker. [Breakdown] Children made crooked. Altars made strange. Fire in the depths. Arrows of hunger. The vine of the enemy ripens its poison; Their foot will slide when the due time arrives. [Verse 3] When power is gone and the hand has grown helpless, The LORD judges His people and pities their end. Where are the gods who consumed all your offerings? Let them arise if their shelter is sure. I kill and make alive; I wound and I heal; No hand can deliver another from Mine. [Bridge] Rejoice, O ye nations, with all of His people; The blood will be answered, the land cleansed again. Moses says, "Set every word in your children, This is your life," then turns toward the height. [Outro] Heaven has heard. Earth keeps the song. Nebo receives the singer.
