Every Station Remembered

Numbers 33:1-36:13

[Verse 1] Rameses to Succoth, then the wilderness beyond, Every station named the road where cloud and fire had led them on. Sinai, Kadesh, Mount Hor, then the plains before the land, Moses wrote the journey so remembrance would remain. [Pre-Chorus] Egypt buried firstborn as they left, Aaron died before the final camps. [Chorus] Every station remembered, Every turning written down. The wilderness was not an empty distance, It was the road by which a nation reached the Jordan ground. [Verse 2] Borders traced the south and sea, the north and Jordan line, Princes stood with Joshua and Eleazar to divide. Levites received cities, six became a refuge door, Where the accidental killer waited till the high priest died. [Bridge] Bloodshed could defile the land, one witness could not take a life, Murder had no ransom, justice guarded every tribe. Zelophehad's daughters married within Manasseh's line, So the inheritance remained as Numbers closed in Moab. [Final Chorus] Every station remembered, Every boundary written down. The wilderness became a testimony, And the waiting nation stood across from Jericho's ground. [Outro] The journey ended in the plains, But the crossing still remained.
