The Sun Stands Still Upon Gibeon
by True Strength

Album: The Mighty Hand of Yahweh

The king of Jerusalem had heard that they'd taken Ai
Gibeon feared Joshua and made peace with him with a lie
Adonai-Zedek alarmed at this troubling new revelation
He summoned five kings for war to bring their devastation
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
And you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
There has never been a day like it before nor any like it since!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
Gibeon pled Joshua to protect them from the attack
After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua struck them in the back
On the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah they began to flee
The Lord hurled large hail down upon the armies of the kings
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
And you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
There has never been a day like it before nor any like it since!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
-------SOLO-------
The Amorite armies fall; they fell more by hail than by sword
Joshua then spoke to them all in the presence of the Lord
The sun stopped in the sky and delayed going down for a day
"Surely the Lord was fighting for us!" To Gilgal they all marched away
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
And you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
There has never been a day like it before nor any like it since!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
The Sun Stood Still!
