(Exodus 17:8-15)

The Israelites got a battle to fight
Fightin’ for God, facing those Amalekites
I use God’s rod, and He pulls us through
Cause our God tells me what I got to do
My God said

Get up on the mountain, Moses, move your feet
Get help -- Aaron and Hur -- you're gonna need their strength
You gotta use lift 'em high and keep your arms steady
Hands up, Israelites have got the victory
Hands down, Israelites are gonna taste defeat

Rephidim’s great – it just ain’t safe
I hit a rock and the Lord provided H20
First we drank, then our foes
Started to come, and I climbed the mountain with my bros

Hands up, Israelites have got the victory
Hands down, General Joshua go lead them please They moved in fast, now it's time to fight
Just us three on the hill as we watch below
And things look good, but I'm growin' tired
I hope I'm strong; they have got a ways to go
Because

Hands up, Israelites have got the victory
Hands down, Aaron, Hur, you gotta lift up me
You gotta lift 'em high and keep your arms steady

Elbows propped I'm on a rock
Hands above my head, I'd like some Arrid Extra Dry
Through my God the tide has turned
I drop my staff ‘cause I know we won the fight
Why

Hands up, Israelites have got the victory
Hands down
Hands up, Exodus in chapter 17
Hands down

Exodus 17:11
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
