These Walls Will Fall

Based on Joshua, Chapter 6.

Day after day, I circle these same old walls

My mind searching for an answer

I have to wonder at this ceaseless trudging

When you could bring them down with just a whisper.

Every dawn I awake to find nothing has changed

Those daunting obstacles still stand in my way

Yet I rise and walk on despite the questioning

Persevering as I learn to simply trust and obey.

Chorus:

These walls are strong, but you are stronger, Lord

Surely you will win the victory.

So I will praise you even though for now

These walls still stand before me.

I’m striving to take it one day at a time

To trust your sovereign ways and perfect timing

So I march on amid the blaring throng,

Confident these walls will soon start crumbling.

Someday the enemy will be defeated

And I’ll watch these walls come down,

For what today seems so formidable and strong

Will, one day, be mere pebbles on the ground.
