"Joshua Fit The Battle" lyrics
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Good morning, sister Mary
Good morning, brother John
Well, I wanna stop and talk with you
And tell you how I come along
I know you've heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle is in my hands"
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about the king of Saul
There's none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
They tell me, great God, that Joshua's spear
Was well-nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double-edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet, bold and brave, he stood
Salvation in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the devil can't do you no harm"
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle is in my hands"
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted, "Glory!"
And the walls came tumbling down
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls came tumbling
Down, down, down, down, down
Tumbling down
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Good morning, sister Mary
Good morning, brother John
Well, I wanna stop and talk with you
And tell you how I come along
I know you've heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle is in my hands"
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about the king of Saul
There's none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
They tell me, great God, that Joshua's spear
Was well-nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double-edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet, bold and brave, he stood
Salvation in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the devil can't do you no harm"
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle is in my hands"
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted, "Glory!"
And the walls came tumbling down
God knows that Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls came tumbling
Down, down, down, down, down
Tumbling down
