"Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: 'You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying,`Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.' And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.' And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance." (Jos. 14:6-13 NKJV)
I saw the giant of prayerlessness upon the mountain high;
He laughed so hard at my unbended knee.
No longer in the wilderness I’ll stay, and so I cry:
I want that mountain, it belongs to me!
There was a giant of laziness who said I wouldn’t go
And witness for the One who set me free.
I’ll come from out the wilderness, I’ll witness now I know;
I want that mountain, it belongs to me!
One faithless giant upon the crest of Hebron’s lofty height
Has vowed that he’s the one to make me flee.
I’ll climb from out the wilderness! and trust Jehovah’s might!
I want that mountain, it belongs to me!
Let ev’ry giant of distress and unbelief and sin
Get ready now to vacate, for you see:
I’ve come from out the wilderness! I know I’m going to win!
I want that mountain, it belongs to me!
Chorus:
I want that mountain! I want that mountain!
Where the milk and honey flow, where the grapes of Eshcol grow,
I want that mountain! I want that mountain!
The mountain that my Lord has given me.
"But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it." (Num. 14:24 NKJV)
