Jericho - © 1990 Brenda M. Lane /ASCAP

Near Jericho the Lord appeared to Joshua
“Take off thy shoes, for where you stand is Holy
Into your hands, I give you Jericho and all its men”
“For you shall go, once round the city six days
and on the seventh a priest shall blow a ram’s horn
Thus shall it be that at the sound your voice shall shout for Joy!
And the walls shall fall!

CHORUS
And that was the battle of Jericho
Where the Lord fought the battle for them
They marched round the city with confidence
That the Lord would bring victory for them.
Though they marched on for days without signs of success
They marched all together in God’s perfect rest
And up from the men on the seventh day
rose a shout! And the victory was won

In one accord the men marched round the city.
They bore the ark and blew their trumpets clearly
No force was used; their victory was in the hands of God
Their fearful tread was heard within the city
And terror rose within the hearts of many
What could this mean? Their only thought was of approaching doom
At the hand of God! (Chorus)

The air was tense upon the seventh morning
As seven times they made their solemn journey
The trumpets peal was cold and stark upon the morning air
Then all at once there was an awesome silence
In Jericho the men prepared for violence
Then Joshua gave an order to his men to shout for Joy!
And the walls fell in!!

TAG:
And that was the battle of Jericho
where the Lord fought the battle for them
They marched round the city with confidence
That the Lord would bring victory for them.
And now you can expect that if you trust in His Word
He’ll bring you the victory you need, Believe! Believe!
And just like the battle of Jericho
The Lord will bring victory to you
And just like the battle of Jericho
The Lord will bring victory to you
