Bible Story Poem
Joshua At Jericho
Joshua was a righteous soul;
A brave leader of the Israelites,
While waiting on the Lord's command,
He kept Jericho in his sites.
Now, God had sent an angel;
Dressed in armored clan,
To destroy the city of Jericho,
And give to Joshua, God's plan.
Joshua thought God's plan was strange;
He'd never heard of such a thing.
So, how could trumpets blowing, by seven priests in all,
Cause a giant city such as Jericho to fall?
But, Joshua knew that the Lord was the wisest one of all;
And by following His plans that Jericho would fall.
So a special group of warriors marched once around the wall,
And seven priests with rams horns, to blow the bugle call.
For six days and nights, the warriors, and the priests;
Marched around the city blowing once, and then they ceased
And on the seventh day the priests blew seven times aloud,
Then, the great walls of Jericho fell, and you could hear the screaming crowd.
Then, throughout the land of Canaan;
Joshua's name was surely dread.
For everyone knew God was Commander, and Chief,
Of this army he had led.
