The Song of Jericho

 

Press play before reading. Salute. 



Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Sing your song

Sing it strong


Don't be denied 


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


For your heart knows

Where you belong


By our Lord's side


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Baptized by all those painful tears


You've cried


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Wherever you go

Sing your song

Sing it strong


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


For The Almighty provides

Like an immortal guide


With arms  

Open wide


In which to rest  

Tired eyes 


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


And in that silence 

Reflect and confide


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho


Will you let him in 

To reside


And help combat sin


Before you join

The so many other Faithless 

Who's died


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Only to be hunted down

By the Devil and his kin


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Take faith 

Wherever you go


To combat sin


Oh Jericho 

Oh Jericho 


Share your light

Even though you've cried
