Joshua Jesus by The.Collective Lyrics
[Verse 1: Timothy Brindle]
Please turn to Joshua 10 through 12 / as we learn there's a lot of these men who fell / grab a chair / remove socks and your sneakers / as we compare these Jews / Joshua and Jesus / see both their names mean Jehovah saves / yet their blades are lethal / slaying pagan people / like the Messiah whose breath blows His fire / notice how Joshua left no survivors / cause God fought for Israel / slaughtered infidels / merked 31 kings in constant intervals / to smitten and smite the Gibeonites / in spite of their might they were shivering yikes and living in fright / (killing) woman and children sinning civilians / millions of villains pillaging buildings and villages / powerful forces who galloped on horses / were left dead and beheaded thousands of corpses / he utterly destroyed all who breathed / smitten and slain then withered away like fallen leaves / but none were innocent they were unregenerate / the same will happen to those who shun the One preeminent / who's judging the nations punishing pagans / when the Son comes with His saints nothing can phase Him / He'll spill the blood of cats who loved to boast / they filled their cup of wrath to the uttermost / and Joshua's conquest was a slaughtering contest / a lot was accomplished they were brought to the promised land / by Yahweh's conquering sovereign hand / we'll too be brought by Him who's both God and Man / when Joshua crossed the Jordan river / he was commanded to put the sword to sinners / well how much more will Christ the Warrior / in Righteousness take your life destroying ya? /
[Chorus: Timothy Brindle]
Severed and tore heads by the edge of the sword / which was the weapon of war / wrecking to settle the score / like never before let us adore / He who broke death's fetters and chords / He's Christ our heavenly Lord / (X2)
[Verse 2: Timothy Brindle]
See Moses promised another Prophet like him (Deuteronomy 18:15) / and it wasn't Joshua though an awesome titan / a type of Christ a faithful shadow / pointing to a greater battle / rescue from Satan's shackles / see Yeshua also crossed the Jordan / but for Him the heavens opened / hear His God endorse Him / unlike Joshua who slaughtered corpses / led into the desert to conquer that rotten scorpion / at the cross conquered demonic hordes when / He suffered awful torment for lawless orphans / though Josh didn't give em rest in the land (Hebrews 4:8) / we can rest in Yeshua in His perfection we stand / by His resurrection might spreads His kingdom / He owns the earth every single inch has been His / subdues the nations now they're rescued kinsmen / forgives them / call it redemptive ethnic cleansing / Canaan seemed to be the land at first / but the blessing of Abraham expands His turf / by our Champion's work through His ransomed Church / now it's clear the promised land's the earth / so be subdued by Him / who was wounded and bruised for sin / rose up as the ruling King / when He returns soon to renew again the land you'll dwell with Him in His New Jerusalem /
