Joshua 2:18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. [KJV]

YOUR SAFE PLACE
Dedicated To: Cheryl Casey Clark

A town crier walked Jericho's streets,
Shouting news of Egyptian slaves;
Led by Moses, delivered by God,
Sustained by only One that saves.
Forty years God had cared for them all,
In the desolate wilderness;
Soon they would cross the Jordan and know,
Prosperity and happiness.
Joshua the slaves new leader sent,
Men ahead into Jericho;
To watch, to scout, and to discover,
The land promised them long ago.
The two spies were welcomed by Rahab,
She opened her door, let them in;
Keeping their secret, she hid the two,
Protecting them from the king's men.
Rahab the harlot begged for mercy,
"Save my family. I saved you."
They replied, "When we take this city,
Hang this red rope there in plain view;
Gather your loved ones together here,
You'll be safe if you don't show your face,
God's army will know you are friendly,
And they will pass by your safe place."
