letra de joshua & jesus - the.collective

[verse 1: timothy brindle]
(yo, yo) 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 shiverin’ “yikes!”
and living in fright, k!llin’
woman and children, sinnin’ civilians
millions of villains, pillaging buildings in 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 (jesus!)
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 (1st thess. 2: 16)
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? (revelation 19:11-21)

[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!
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!

[verse 2: timothy brindle]
see, moses promised another prophet like him (deut. 18:15)
and it wasn’t joshua, though an awesome “t-tan”
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! (“my beloved son!”)
unlike joshua who slaughtered corpses
led into the desert to conquer that rotten scorpion! (luke 4)
at the cross conquered demonic hordes, when (col. 2:14-15)
he suffered awful torment for lawless orphans
though josh didn’t give ’em rest in the land (heb. 4:8)
we can rest in yeshua, in his perfection we stand! (heb. 4:9-10, matt. 11:28, rom. 5:1-2)
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 (psalm 2:7-8; 47: 3,9)
forgives them, call it “redemptive ethnic cleansing”
canaan seemed to be “the land” at first
but “the blessing of abraham” expands his turf (genesis 17:5-8)
by our champion’s work through his ransomed church (eph. 3:6, rev. 5:9-10)
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 (eph. 1:19-23) (“hallelujah!”)
when he returns soon to renew again the land (isaiah 65:17-25; 66:22-23)
you’ll dwell with him in his new jerusalem! (rev. 21-22)
