Joshua, Walls of Jericho
Joshua
Moses fell beneath the mountain sky
And the mantle passed with tears unshed
You said, rise now, do not turn aside
Every place I give where your feet are led
Jordan swelled before the ark of God
Yet the waters bowed where your presence stood
Twelve stones raised where the river broke
So our sons would know that you are good
Be strong, be brave, do not fear the night
You go before us, You are our light
We will follow where Your promise leads
Through the flood, through the flame, through the enemy
At the sound of your name, every wall will fall
You have gone before us, Lord above it all
Land of mercy, land of ancient vow
What you spoke in vain is before us now
We will serve the Lord
We will stand and say
You are God among us
To this day
Trumpets cried around the hardened stone
And the city shook beneath your hand
But when sin was hid, the strong were brought low
Till we turned again to your command
The sun stood still above the field of war
Kings were scattered by your mighty breath
You gave rest to every tribe by lot
And fulfilled your word through life and death
Choose this day whom you will serve
Stone and sword cannot preserve
But as for me and all my house
We will bow and make this vow
As for me and all my house
We will serve the Lord
