The Ark Goes Forth
Joshua
Forty years in the wilderness, now the Jordan stands between
God said move, priest step in first, watch the waters part and flee
Every boot on the riverbed, every stone picked up and carried
God made a road where there was none, heaven's will cannot be buried
You can't stop God, you can't hold back the flood of his will
You can't stop God
The waters pile up, the rivers stand still
You can't stop God
Heart moving forward, priests never fell
You can't stop God
What he has promised will be fulfilled
Twelve stones pulled from the riverbed
Twelve tribes crossed on solid ground
Jericho heard what the Jordan did
Terror and silence all around
Every boot on the riverbed
Every stone picked up and carried
God made a road where there was none
Heaven's will cannot be buried
You can't stop God
You can't hold back the flood of His will
You can't stop God
The waters pile up, the rivers stand still
You can stop God
Our moving forward
Priests never felt
You can stop God
What he has promised will be
Fulfilled
The priest stepped in before the water moved
Faith walked first on that uncertain ground
Obedience broke the river loose
And not one soldier of God was drowned
You can't stop God
You can't stop God
The Jordan split and the nations knew
You can't stop God
You can't stop God
He is still doing what he said he'd do
You can't stop God
Can't stop God
Can't stop God
Can't stop God
Oh, oh, oh
