Avança

After the 40-year pilgrimage through the desert
A new generation is ready to enter Canaan
But God first prepares Joshua
By teaching him the importance of a
Brave and consistent faith
More than two million Hebrews crossed
The Jordan River
And now they beheld Jericho
With its walls brought down by the march
And praise of the priests
Then Joshua gives the final instructions
Before about 40 thousand armed men
To take the end of the promised land

The time in the desert has come to an end
The promise is before me
I can contemplate
In the desert the manna from heaven fell
Water from the rock flowed
I was there

It seems like a dream
It doesn't seem real
But faith tells me
Now is the time
To take my place

Advance
Advance
It's time for conquest
Advance
Raise the cry
And like the eagles soar high
And worship me
Worship me
Worship me
Said the Lord

Just as God was with Moses
He will be with me, I know
I can trust
The fear of God haunts evil
Brings allies and encourages to fight

It seems like a dream
It doesn't seem real
But faith tells me
Now is the time
To take my place

Be strong
Take courage
I will not leave you nor forsake you
No, there are no giants
There is milk and honey
Waiting for you
