Lyrics
Part I: The Divine Commander
[Narrator]
Before the walls of Jericho, mighty and tall,
Joshua stood, awaiting God's call.
When lo! A figure with sword drawn appeared,
A heavenly warrior, greatly feared.
[Aria: Joshua]
Who are you, O mighty one?
Are you for us, or for our foes?
Speak, for I am Joshua, God's chosen son,
Here to claim the land He chose.
[Aria: Angel of the Lord]
Neither for you nor your enemy I stand,
But as commander of the Lord's host I come.
Remove your sandals, for this is holy land,
And hear the strategy to make Jericho succumb.
[Chorus: Heavenly Host]
Holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts,
His plans unfold, beyond man's boasts.
Watch and see His mighty hand,
As walls crumble at His command.
Part II: The Silent March
[Narrator]
For six days they marched, in solemn array,
Once around Jericho, then away.
The priests with the Ark, the warriors behind,
In silence they moved, God's timing to mind.
[Israelites]
Step by step, day by day,
Around these walls, we make our way.
In silence we march, in faith we tread,
By God's own hand, we'll be led.
[Aria: Joshua]
Six days we've marched, in silent power,
Awaiting God's appointed hour.
Though walls stand firm, our faith stands sure,
God's promise will always endure.
Part III: The Seventh Day
[Narrator]
On the seventh day, as dawn broke clear,
Seven times they marched, the end was near.
The priests stood ready, rams' horns in hand,
To sound the signal across the land.
[Aria: Joshua]
Hear, O Israel, the Lord's command:
When the trumpets sound across the land,
Shout with all your might, a mighty roar,
And see what God has in store!
[Priests with Trumpets]
The trumpets call, let Jericho hear,
The God of Israel draws near!
From soft to loud, our notes resound,
Proclaiming judgment all around!
Part IV: The Walls Fall
[Narrator]
As the trumpets blared their final note,
A mighty shout from every throat,
The walls of Jericho shook and swayed,
Then fell, as if by earthquakes frayed.
[Israelites]
Shout! For the Lord has given us the city!
Its walls are down, His power we see!
By faith, not might, this victory's won,
God's promise fulfilled, His will is done!
Let every nation and people hear,
The God of Israel is near!
No wall too high, no foe too strong,
Against His power can stand for long!
Faith is our weapon, praise our song,
In God's great army, we belong!
From Jericho's fall, let all men know,
It's not by might, but by His Spirit we go!
In every battle, in every test,
Remember Jericho, and be at rest.
For walls may stand, and foe
No wall too high, no foe too strong,
Against His power can stand for long!
Faith is our weapon, praise our song,
In God's great army, we belong!
From Jericho's fall, let all men know,
It's not by might, but by His Spirit we go!
In every battle, in every test,
Remember Jericho, and be at rest.
For walls may stand, and foes may rise,
But faith in God wins the prize.
