Joshua six tells how the Israelites conquered Jericho
The town was tightly shut up, nobody could come or go
The Lord told Joshua to march around it for six days
And on the seventh day to blow trumpets of praise
Then when the people shouted, the walls would collapse
And the Israelites would easily walk in through the gaps
Joshua followed God’s plans and destroyed the town
Rahab’s family was spared when the city burned down
Moses passed along commandments, per Joshua eleven
Joshua did all in line with these instructions from heaven
By doing so, Joshua conquered Canaan and the entire land
The Lord’s great power, none of the kings could withstand
To each tribe land as an inheritance Joshua did then give
“Then the land had rest from war” and in peace did live
Joshua’s farewell address is detailed in Joshua twenty four
He said to “fear the Lord” and for all other gods to abhor
“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord”
They agreed because His actions could not be ignored
Joshua warned them that the Lord is a holy and jealous God
And therefore with sins and rebellion not to his anger prod
But the Israelites said that the Lord they would always serve
Promising Joshua from God’s path they would not swerve
