Verse 1
In days of old in the Holy Land
The Lord God showed His mighty hand
When the hordes from Mt. Seir with the Ammonites
Were joined by the hosts of the Moabites
Countless armed, faithless Systemites
Bent on attacking God's people, the Israelites.

Verse 2 [lines 1-4 rapped]
Vastly outnumbered, unprepared & afraid
In Jerusalem, good King Jehosophat prayed
We trust you to save us in this hour of need
From these godless invaders, with their violence & greed

We don't know what to do, no, we don't have a clue,
But, God of our Fathers, our eyes are on You!

'Cause he knew…..

Verse 4
At morning light the defenders marched
Led by the music of trumpets & harps
Praising for the triumph o'er the enemy in advance
For to attack God's people, they never got that chance,
Destroyed by one another, slain with the sword,
All that was left for Jeho & his men
Was to gather the spoils & bless the good Lord!
