A servant called by God to lead
Had to run from danger
Avenged a Hebrew with a blow
In Midian a stanger
Another man spied out the land
Brought produce back to show
God's promised land was free to take
Yet Isr'el would not go
For forty years the men must wait
Wilderness and training
Egypt and Canaan's sin complete
God's promise ne'er waning
Take off your shoes on holy ground
Fiery bush and Jericho
Encounter with the Living God
Revealed for them to know
Escape from Pharaoh through a Sea
Pillar of cloud to guard
God's people's flight from slavery
For God it was not hard
Priests march the golden ark across
Flooded river Jordan
God's people witnessed waters parting
Walked on dry ground again
Hold out your staff, your javelin
The victory is giv'n
See wonders so remarkable
Could only come from heav'n
Time and again God's people sinned
They reaped the consequence
The woesome leaders duty bound
Hand down God's sure sentence
But God did not the men forsake
Who served him all their days
His presence constant through it all
Their comfort and their praise
Circumcision and sacrifice
Laws read for all to hear
To celebrate God's faithfulness
Across lands far and near
The Lord your God will be with you
Courageous and strong be
God's pow'r displayed in Joshua
In Moses and in me
