The trumpets thunder, the people shout out
The trumpets proclaim, Jericho trembles
The trumpets rumble, the people cry out
The trumpets resound, Jericho panics!
The clarion call of Jericho1
Listen, so you can see!
I am the Supreme Commander2
Over the Army of the Lord3
And I am here.
Take your shoes off from your feet
For the place you are on is holy
Listen to the clarion call of anger
Listen, so you can see
And you will see
The clarion call of Jericho!
(The clarion call of Jericho)
And the Supreme Commander spoke to the Army of the Lord
On the 7th day,
When the dawn arises,
They will fall,
The great city,
And everything therein, will become ashes
For I will burn it all with fire!
The clarion call of Jericho
Listen, so you can see!
I am the Supreme Commander
Over the forces of the Lord
And I have come.
Take your shoes off from your feet
For the place you are on is holy
(Listen)
(So you will see)
(Listen)
(I am the Lord).
