The Walls Came Down

Jericho walls fastened up tight
Promised our yahweh surely would be a terrible fight
Marching around, day after day
Faithfully waiting, giving a shout with trumpets to play
At the echoes of that sound
They could see the walls come down
And the walls came down
The walls came down
It was not the way they would have landed
But the walls came down
Came down
Seeking the lord, worshipping him
Making a journey all the long way to jerusalem
Phillip revealed the wonderful word
Needing atonement, a beautiful lamb and merciful lord
On that old deserted road
He was spared his heavy load

And the walls came down
The walls came down
It was not the way that he expected
But the walls came down
They came down
Falling, falling, the walls came down
And the walls were falling down
The walls came down
Hearing the words, "the cancer has spread,"
Dealing with treatments, suffering pain with worse times ahead
Praying for a "yes" answer with strife
Freedom was prayed for, freedom received but not in this life
A reprieve was not to be
Though he truly was set free
When the walls came down
The walls came down
It was not at all as we intended
But the walls came down

Let the walls come down
The walls come down
If we trust in God, we'll find his blessing
As the walls come down
May the walls come down
The walls come down
He is still the lord, he'll never leave us
Let the walls come down
