Rak Chazak
That was the battle cry
with Joshua and his men;
enemies they thus defied
at the Promised Land.
"Rak Chazak!" they roared!
sent shivers down the spine;
the multitude then crossed
to fight within good time.
Be strong and of good courage
the meaning of this saying;
we need Him in this Age
far from fires flaming.
David did the same
running to Goliath;
thus "Rak Chazak's" fame
a pebble killed him yet!
Now in modern times
this battle cry employ;
behind Enemies' lines
the Christ with us destroy!
Amen!
"Rak Chazak" or "Chazak Amats"
are mentioned as the battle cry
when Joshua and the Israelites
defeated their enemies
as they entered the Promised Land.
It basically means, "be strong and
of good courage".
Joshua 1:9 states:
"Have i not commanded you?
Be strong and of good courage,
do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,
for the Lord thy God is with thee
wherever you go."
Amen!
