Joshua /ˈdʒɒʃuə/ or Jehoshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yĕhôshúʿa or Hebrew: יֵשׁוּעַ Yĕshúʿa; Aramaic: ܝܫܘܥ Isho; Greek: Ἰησοῦς, Arabic: يوشع بن نون Yūshaʿ ibn Nūn; Latin: Iosue, Turkish: Yuşa), is a figure in the Torah, being one of the spies for Israel (Num 13–14) and identified in several passages as Moses' assistant. He is the central figure in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua. According to the books of Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, he became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses. His name was Hoshe'a (הוֹשֵׁעַ) the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him Yehoshu'a (יְהוֹשֻעַ; Joshua in English) (Numbers 13:16) the name by which he is commonly known. The name is shortened to Yeshua in Nehemiah (Nehemiah 8:17). According to the Bible he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus.
He was one of the twelve spies of Israel sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. (Numbers 13:1-16) After the death of Moses, he led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan, and allocated the land to the tribes. According to Biblical chronology, Joshua lived between 1355-1245 BCE, or sometime in the late Bronze Age. According to Joshua 24:29, Joshua died at the age of 110.
(Verse 1:)
I’m praying for you…! Cause you don’t love him...
So the way you gonna go, you don’t really know,
What are you standing on?, I put you to the cross,
Left without a loss, he saved us from ourselves,
My flesh…! Your flesh…! Will separate us,
So cry out, and pay now, and he will drop you down,
Repent now, confound sent, and you’ll be purified…!
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone (Alone)!
(Verse 2:)
(Yeah, uh-huh) I speak to you from this burning of my heart (of my heart)
If he is a Mack truck, put these words in park, (yeah) I am aging wisdom,
Please don’t become a faracy (don’t become a faracy) I’m an older boy from
Front to back but never takes me!... I’m praying for you…! Cause you don’t
Love him…So you go to church, and you do good things, they could be lies to
Marking, do you rep his name, what one six you claim, but does your actions
Prove it? Today self cries, you can not have to cage no, I make you, repent
Now (repent), for god’s kings numbers are hanged now, his blood (his blood)
Came clean (came clean) no matter what you've done! (no matter what you've
Done)
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone (Alone)!
(Verse 3:)
I try to lead you by example but it’s hard, sorry for my absence, so I send
My regards, I am the son of Adam so you know I fall, my daddy picks me up
That's why I stand so tall, just because you said a pair there's gotta be
Change, be it a first John for the Sherman's from the king, I am not here
Just to debate live what you say, become a lion not a lamb don’t become
It’s prey!
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone! Stand Alone!
Stand Alone! Stand Alone! and you will Stand Alone! Stand Alone! Stand
Alone! Stand Alone! And you will Stand Alone!...
