[Verse 1] Peor drew the people into feasts before another god, Zimri crossed the camp in daylight while the congregation sobbed. Phinehas rose with zeal and stopped the plague within the tent, Twenty-four thousand marked the cost before the judgment ended. [Pre-Chorus] A covenant of peace was given, And a new generation stood to count. [Chorus] Give the congregation a shepherd, Someone to go out and come in before them. Let them not be sheep without a leader, Set Joshua before the people and lay honor on him. [Verse 2] Every tribe was numbered, but the former host was gone, Only Caleb and Joshua remained from the first count. Zelophehad's five daughters stood and asked to keep his name, And God declared their cause was right and widened Israel's law. [Bridge] Moses climbed to see the land he would not enter in, Still his first concern was who would lead when he was gathered. Joshua stood before Eleazar and the entire crowd, Moses laid his hands upon him and gave the charge aloud. [Final Chorus] Give the congregation a shepherd, Someone to go out and come in before them. Let them not be sheep without a leader, Set Joshua before the people and lay honor on him. [Outro] One generation vanished, Another received the charge.
