[Exodus 17:8-16]
|
[Chorus]
|
Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my banner in war
|
Jehovah Nissi, upholding the armour of God
|
|
Amalek came at Israel
|
Moses ordered Joshua choose some men
|
Go out and fight
|
Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill
|
|
[Prechorus]
|
With the rod of God in my hand
|
I will raise the banner <i>[x2]
|
|
[Chorus repeat]
|
|
Joshua rounded the men
|
Israel fought with Amalek
|
Moses, Aron, Hur on top of the hill
|
When Moses raised his hands Israel prevailed
|
|
[Prechorus repeat]
|
|
[Musical bridge]
|
|
Moses hands became heavy
|
so they put a stone under them
|
Aron and Hur support their friend
|
until the going down of the sun
|
Joshua defeated Amalek
|
and so it was with the power of the sword
|
written in the memorial book
|
The Lord is my banner in war!
|
|
[Pre chorus repeat]
|
|
[Chorus repeat]
|
|
And the Lord has shown
|
He will have war with Amalek
|
from generation to generation
|
|
[Musical bridge repeat]
|
|
With the rod of God in my hand <i>[x3]
|
Jehovah Nissi
