Before the sun rose over stone, before the battle line was

drawn, the ark went forward through the dust, and Israel followed

God. No voice of man, no pride of kings, no boast

beneath the morning sky, only the sound of holy feet and

seven trumpets cry.

Joshua rose

in the break of day With the weight of the promise

in his eyes Priests took the ark of the covenant And

the ram's horns lifted high Round the walls where the nation

slept Round the gates where the proud men stood They marched

by faith through the silent dust Believing that the Lord was

good No sword was raised, no spear was thrown But heaven

had already spoken Step after step in the dust, in the

dawn Hold to the word, keep marching on When God gives

the city, the world cannot stay When He commands the people,

the stone gives way When the trumpets cry and the people

shout What God has spoken will come down Not by our

power, not by our name The Lord goes before us and

breaks what stands in the way Lift up the sound, let

faith rise now When the trumpets cry,

the walls come down Six days passed with a holy wait,

one long road around the wall. No answer came from the

stones above, but they still obeyed the call.

Then the seventh morning burned with fire, and the people circled

seven times. The breath of a nation held inside, till the

Lord released the sign. The breeze drew breath, the horns rang

out And the earth began to tremble Step after step till

the promise is near Stand in the dust and conquer fear

When God gives the city, the wall cannot stay When he

commands the people, the stone gives way When the trumpets cry

and the people shout What God has spoken will come down

Not by our power, not by our name The Lord goes

before us And breaks what stands in the way Lift up

the sound Let faith rise now When the trumpets

cry, the walls come down Shout for the Lord has given,

shout for the King has won Shout for the stone is

broken, shout for the work is done Mercy was kept in

the house of Rahab, grace was alive in a scarlet side

While judgment fell on the pride of Jericho God remembered the

faithful line The silver, the gold, the bronze, the iron Were

gathered for the house of the Lord The city fell beneath

his sentence But mercy walked through the door Not every wall

falls fast not every promise comes with thunder But every step

of faith is heard by the God of wonders So march

when the road is silent, stand when the giants stare The

battle belongs to the Holy One and the Lord is already

there When the trumpets cry and the people shout What

God has spoken will come down Not by our power, not

by our name The Lord goes before us And breaks what

stands in the way

Lift up the sound Let faith rise now When the

trumpets cry The walls come down When the trumpets cry And

the people shout Strongholds shake And fear runs out The promise

stands The proud fall down When the Lord goes before us

The walls come down Rahab lived among his people Mercy stood

where judgment passed The Lord was faithful in the battle And

his word was true at last When the trumpets cry

The walls come down
