Joshua and Isreal, came to Jericho,
Seven priests shall lead the ark,
Chorus:
You may be like Isreal, walls standin' in your way,
Chorus: (The walls of Jericho are comin' down,).........Three times with spirit.
Well, they found that city locked up tight
It was as far as they could go.
Fifty feet high, fifty feet thick, stood those city walls,
But, God said, Joshua don't fear, those walls are gonna fall.
The trumpet's in their hands;
The first six days around the wall
In silence they shall stand.
But on that seventh day, seventh time,
Praise God one and all,
The walls around old Jericho
They are gonna fall.
The walls of Jericho are comin' down,
The walls of Jericho are comin' down,
On the seventh time around
You could hear that trumpet sound
And, the walls of Jericho are comin' down.
When you start to praise the Lord,
When it's the seventh day;
When you start to walk by faith
And on the Lord you call,
Then, just like they did at Jericho
Your walls are gonna fall.
