Steve Riser - Courageous Joshua Lyrics

Joshua had been around
Scouting out a foreign land
Standing there
Right at Moses' side
He'd walked around for forty years
Laughed the laughs and cried the tears
Ready to be the leader and the guide
And God said
Be courageous and be strong
Don't be terrified
You're going to have to lead them in this land
So speak the law and do not turn aside
Well they crossed the Jordan at first light
The water piled up right out of sight
Walked across completely on dry ground
Some kings came up to fight a bit
But when they heard 'bout what God did
They
Shrank away without a sound
And God said
Be courageous and be strong
You have to be circumcised
Although your enemies are at hand
Go cut your foreskins off with flint knives
Well feeling sore for a day or so
They marched on up to Jericho
It's walls so thick it would be a rout
But God told them to get quiet
March with trumpets and the ark
And on the seventh day everybody shout
They were courageous and so strong
They followed their instructions
Jericho's walls came tumbling down and they
Completed it's destruction
