Battle of AI

(Verse 1)

We marched in pride, with Jericho behind,

Hearts were strong, with victory in mind.

But sin lay hidden, deep in one tent

A curse in the shadow, one needed to repent.

(Chorus)

Oh, A I, we lost the fight,

We ran in fear from the sword in the night.

The hand of the Lord was turned away,

For sin in the camp had made us to pay.

(Verse 2)

We rose with strength, so few we did send,

Thinking the battle was ours to the end.

But down we fell, struck with despair,

Our hearts melted, our souls laid bare.

(Chorus)

Oh, A I, we lost the fight,

We ran in fear from the sword in the night.

The hand of the Lord was turned away,

For sin in the camp had made us to pay.

(Bridge)

Joshua fell, his face to the ground,

Crying, "O Lord, we can never rebound?"

But the voice of the Lord thundered again,

"Rise up, O leader, uncover the sin!"

(Verse 3)

Achan’s greed, the silver, the gold,

Hidden beneath, but now it is told.

Stone upon stone, on the sinner was thrown,

Only then was His mercy known.

(Final Chorus)

Oh, A I, we lost in the fight,

We turned from the Lord, we ran in the night.

But grace restored when the sin was confessed,

And once again, we found victory in His sweet rest.

(Outro)

Oh, Christian, please listen, heed, and do,

For victory sweet victory will come to you.

Let not the Earth"s treasure steal your soul,

For Victory in Jesus is your ultimate goal.
