Lyrics
Like Joshua at Jericho
Verse 1:
Building walls
Became his specialty
Made of fear
Demanded privacy
Wide and strong
He was safe and sound
Lonely still
What would he do now?
Verse 2:
Built with care
To hide from all the pain
But kept out love
He began to pray
"I built these walls
But now I want them down
Help me Lord
I just don't know how
Chorus:
Like Joshua at Jericho
Those walls can tumble down
With Jesus help they will fall
crashing to the ground
Without doubt or fear
They're just a pile of stones
Trusting in the Lord
At Jericho
Verse 3:
It wasn't easy
He had built them high
So much fear
Love was just in time
His barriers
Became a memory
Jesus set
this captive free
Bridge:
With His love walls will disappear
