JOSHUA COURAGE CHANT
ALBUM: Amazing Faith 'n' Freedom
Song location: http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/NEW-Songs.php
I wrote the lyrics in a dentist chair waiting for my tooth to be numbed.
That might tell you something about my attitude then.... but it doesn't!
Rather, I was reading Smith Wigglesworth's book “Anointing” while I waited, and was intrigued by his words about this passage.
From there, the song. I stopped at the church to pray at the altar on my way home and asked God “for exciting-for-You music.” Not real grammatical, but I think it seems He honored my prayer anyway with this answer! THE NEXT NIGHT, all music was recorded and on the World Wide Web. This is God's workings!
The cool off-time beat at the end of line f ("God choose to allow us--this") was a mistake that my home studio program corrected when I quantized (ensured all 1/8th and 1/4 note timings were even).... and I decided to keep this “mistake” as the Holy Spirit's pretty moving change! As I worked the program, I kept upping the tempo... til it was this.... 48 beats per minute faster than the original working file tempo!

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
"No man shall [be able to] stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.
"Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
"Only be strong and very courageous,
that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. "Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and of good courage;
-- Joshua 1: 5 to 9
