Mortification - Jehovah Nissi lyrics

rate me

[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
