| You took them
out of bondage |
Exodus
20:2 - I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. |
| And they thank
you for it |
|
You sang them
songs of love
And they try to sing with it |
Exodus
15:1 - Then sang Moses and the
children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and
spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he
hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea. |
But now in the
desert
Are you battered and bruised
They think they are forsaken
They think they have been used |
Exodus
15:24 - And the people murmured
against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Numbers 14:1-3
- And all the congregation lifted up their voice,
and cried; and the people wept that night. And
all the children of Israel murmured against Moses
and against Aaron: and the whole congregation
said unto them, Would God that we had died in the
land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this
wilderness! And wherefore hath the LORD brought
us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our
wives and our children should be a prey? were it
not better for us to return into Egypt?
Psalm 78:17 -
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking
the most High in the wilderness.
Psalm 78:40-41
- How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned
back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of
Israel. |
Since you are
my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua |
|
| Rasta is
watching and blaming you |
Deuteronomy
3:26 - But the LORD was wroth
with me for your sakes, and would not hear me:
and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee;
speak no more unto me of this matter. |
Since you are
my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say you must forward and start anew
You know those who fought for you
You thank them for it |
|
You led them
across the Red Sea
When fear of drown in it |
Psalm
78:13 - He divided the sea, and
caused them to pass through; and he made the
waters to stand as an heap. |
But now in the
jungle
You man shout out 'Lion!'
Older men are patient
But they long for Zion
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say you must forward and start anew
No Joshua no
No Joshua no
I say, No Joshua no
No Joshua no
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say you must forward and start anew
You took them out of bondage
And they thank you for it
You sang them songs of love
And they try to sing with it
But now in the jungle
Shouting out 'Lion!'
Older men are patient
But they long for Zion
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you, blaming you,
blaming you
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say you must forward and start anew
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you
Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say you must forward and start anew |
