The Setting: Five great Kings ganged up on Joshua and Israel; but
in reality they ganged up on God, who enabled team Joshua to defeat them.
Joshua 10: 16,17 "And these five Kings fled and hid themselves in
a cave at Mak-ke' dah. And it was told Joshua...and he said, "Roll
great stones upon the mouth of the cave and set men by it for to
keep them."
Yes, they all ganged up on Joshua and Israel,
But God was against them, and thousands fell.
And when the five Kings realized they were defeated
They forsook their soldiers and into a cave retreated.
In ignorant they thought they were saved,
But the very place they hid, became there grave.
Today people are hiding in caves of self-righteousnes
Caves of religeon, of keeping the ten commandments.
Caves of morality, of keeping the golden rule,
But like the Kings, such hiding places are not cool.
They are like the great stones who ,the kings they held,
Are like everlasting judgment, sealing your grave in Hell.
The Bible says Heaven is obtained by faith alone in Christ,
Not by deeds of self-righteosness, of good works of life.
Church attendance, good upright morality and such thngs,
In the sight of men comendable, but us to Heaven will not bring.
The Bible teaches God's love is true,
He shed His precious blood for me and you.
On the cross of Calvary, sins debt He paid,
So you and I can now be saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by GRACE are you saved through FAIH, and that not of yorself, it is the GIFT o God; Not of WORKS lest any man should boast."
