lyrics

Just Keep Digging Oh Joshua

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho
Joshua fought the batte of Jericho and the walls came a tumblin down

Well it’s been said so many times
No good thing will ever die
A lot of good men they died in vain
What they left behind nobody could claim

Nothing more but the truth is stranger
Than any fiction that bares your name
What must be done you won’t live it down
Let it be told when if comes around
Chorous
Just keep digging in the ground
Like Jericho the walls will come down
No good fight ever dies in vain
Oh Joshua I call your name

The Lord done old Joshua do just what I say
Walk around the city seven times and the walls will crumble away

If you only fight the battles you know you will win
You might as well dig your grave before you begin
You’ll never move a mountain if you don’t believe
Say your prayers it’s time to leave

Learn to live with what you can’t rise above
Or right that wrong before you’re done
You keep chasing what you been running from
What you fear keeps you on the run
