Jericho
Music by Jeremy Sorensen
Lyrics by Doug McKelvey


I have defined the place that I exist
In terms of everything that I resist
These city walls let nothing harmful through
They are my fortress and a prison too

It’s like the very thing that’s killing me
Is somehow my security

Cause I don’t know just where to go
If I lose Jericho
But I can feel it crumbling in the wind
Jesus come and free my soul
Overthrow Jericho
I don’t wanna see these walls again

There is no beauty here inside this place
There is no freedom where there is no grace
Inside these walls my heart cannot pursue
The all consuming love you call me to

Sometimes it hurts us more than dying
To give up what we thought we knew

Cause I don’t know just where to go
If I lose Jericho
But I can feel it crumbling in the wind
Jesus come and free my soul
Overthrow Jericho
I don’t wanna see these walls again
