(\'My God I love thee, not because\')
Joshua Chapter 6 parts
********
To gain victory at Jericho
The people would it know
Encircling the city round
But silence did redound
Once round the city for six days
This was in the Lord\'s ways
Then seven times round, seventh day
They in their ranks did stay
Then at word, Joshua\'s command
And through the Lord\'s good hand
Then they did shout, and wall flat fell
Through the Lord they did well
Then onwards strong they did advance
Took up their battle stance
Saved only Rahab and her kin
Destroyed all else therein
For city was dedicated
To the Lord, He them led
To gain victory, and silver, gold
Brass, iron, they did not hold
For those were all consecrated
To the Lord, He their Head
They stored within the treasury
His worthy tribute free
