Heritage Singers Set Me On the Rock song lyrics

Moses, weary of wanderin'

His task was nearly complete

The Lord said let me show you a land

Where my people can rest their feet

But you, my servant, have paid the price

You've been a shepherd to the weak

So go look down from this mountain

And then come on home to Me

Set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me view the promised land

Set me on the rock, Joshua

He delivered to us by His mighty hand

Through the wilderness He led us

By his bountiful hand He fed us

So set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me gaze upon Israel's prize

For seven days they did not speak

A mighty battle was at hand

God had told His children to go out and possess the land

On the seventh day, the seventh hour, the seventh time around

His holy purpose was fulfilled and the walls came a'tumblin' down

Set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me view the promised land

Set me on the rock, Joshua

He delivered to us by His mighty hand

Through the wilderness He led us

By His bountiful hand He fed us

So set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me gaze upon Israel's prize

Well, the lamb was led to slaughter

The stage already set

An eternal sacrifice was made

One for all the rest

Now the mercy seat is covered by the blood from His own hands

And the Rock of Ages took His place as the bridge between God and man

Just set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me view the promised land

Set me on the rock, Joshua

He delivered to us by His mighty hand

Through the wilderness He led us

By His bountiful hand He fed us

So set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me gaze upon Israel's prize

Set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me view the promised land

Set me on the rock, Joshua

He delivered to us by His mighty hand

Through the wilderness He led us

By His bountiful hand He fed us

So set me on the rock, Joshua

Let me gaze upon Israel's prize
