Ron Wiseman - Jericho


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Take what you want,
the possessions you possess,
Mark 13:16 - And let him that is in the
field not turn back again for to take up
his garment.

and the secrets buried in your chest
and see how much you can carry,
over this wall.

Take everything you see,
every apple on the tree,
it ain't no sin,
to be persuaded easily.
Hurry and hide it all,
over that wall.
 

And when the rain comes,
and the strom clouds grow,
Where you gonna be when the trumpets blow?
Will you be safe behind the walls of Jericho?
Does nobody fall behind the walls of Jericho?
Joshua 6:1-5 - Now Jericho was straitly shut
up because of the children of Israel: none
went out, and none came in. And the LORD said
unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand
Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty
men of valour. And ye shall compass the city,
all ye men of war, and go round about the city
once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven
priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets
of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall
compass the city seven times, and the priests
shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come
to pass, that when they make a long blast with
the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of
the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a
great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall
down flat, and the people shall ascend up every
man straight before him.
Hebrews 11:30 - By faith the walls of Jericho
fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days.

Take what you can, you can conquer every land.
Take your sacks, go and fill 'em up, full of sand.
They say, freedom waits for us all,
just over that wall.

Take your horses, and let 'em all run wild,
Take your judges, and put 'em all on trial.
Build ourselves a castle that'll never fall,
just over that wall...

(repeat chorus)
