The Walls Came Down

Verse 1 The city stood before us in the morning haze Ancient stones and iron gates, proud in all their ways The warriors watched from the battlements above Trusting in their strength instead of God above The trumpet had not sounded, the battle not begun Yet the Lord had made a promise of a victory won So we walked in silent circles beneath the desert sky Believing what He told us though reason asked us why Chorus Round and round the walls we go Trusting what the Lord has spoken Stone by stone, though none could know The mighty gates would soon be broken Not by sword and not by hand Not by power men command When the voice of God is heard The strongest walls fall at His word Verse 2 For six long days we marched around Without a single battle sound The people mocked from high above But faith kept moving out of love Then came the seventh rising sun The day the Lord would finish what He’d begun Seven times around we walked that ground Waiting for the holy sound Chorus Round and round the walls we go Trusting what the Lord has spoken Stone by stone, though none could know The mighty gates would soon be broken Not by sword and not by hand Not by power men command When the voice of God is heard The strongest walls fall at His word Bridge The trumpets cried into the wind The people shouted loud as thunder The earth began to shake beneath And pulled the mighty city under What man had built with fear and pride Could not stand when God decided Every fortress, every wall Must bow before the Lord of all Final Chorus Round and round the walls we go Following where He has led us Every promise He has made His mighty hand will never fail us Not by sword and not by hand Not by power men command When the voice of God is heard The strongest walls fall at His word Outro The walls came down The walls came down And every stone declared the sound The Lord alone brought Jericho down.
