Jericho: The Shout of Victory Carman

Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the
Children of Israel…None went out and none came in
And the Lord said unto Joshua, "See, I have given
Into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof
And the mighty men of valor." And ye shall compass the city

The inhabitants of Jericho were perverted by sin and corrupt
Surrounded by walls so thick the chariots raced on top
With ladders, catapults and spearheads readied
And blazing in the sun

The armies of Israel stood waiting for commands of
War to come
For thirty-nine years Joshua was trained under
Moses' righteous hand;
And it was Joshua who led nearly three million
Israelites into the Promised Land

Now Moses was dead and the real test came:
Could he simply follow God's Word
And do something that, to the natural mind
Would be utterly absurd?
Without Moses to ask advice of, or an
Advisory Committee
God said the wall will fall - "Just tell them 'shout,'
For I have given you the city!"...
