Analysis of Jericho and the Shout
Favour such as Joshua saw
Never thought for me
But adopted as I am
All of good foresee.
Marching, shouting at God’s call
Wicked walls fall down.
Land is taken, humbly so.
Mine, the keys and Crown.
Learning that a promise kept
Power and wisdom gains
Undeserving, and I wept
Father sends His rains.
