Shout Your Walls Down
God does not go about giving his people the spirit of fear
He gives them love, power and a sound mind with which to bear
and when God spoke to Joshua, He said,"fear not"
trust in Me to deliver you with all the power that I've got
I command you to go forth and to participate
not cower in a corner nor pause nor hesitate
come out of your comfort zone and worship from the heart
jump for joy, shout and stomp and give honor to God
for I don't know what you came to do, but I came to praise the Lord
to edify, glorify and exalt Him and I suggest you get on board
don't just sit in that pew looking like you just don't care
give God all the praise, remember He's the reason why you are here
Christianity is a lifestyle and it's based solely on who you know
get acquainted with the Living God and let the walls around you go
believe in Him, receive from Him and open up to Him your heart
gaze up to the eyes of the Creator who gave you your life's start
change your belief system and trust in God's Kingdom of Light
disregard what the world has to say, be acceptable in His sight
you're no longer lost but now to be found
with the power within to shout your walls down
understand that nothing is impossible
if you believe in the Living Gospel
the written word of God was sent to us with love
and when the Spirit speaks it's a direct command from above
the anointed word of God is a revelation that's always true
so when the Spirit speaks you know what you must do
for every word that comes from God is a manifest
every promise will be fulfilled so your testimony will progress
and whenever God says "It's finished", consider it done
acquiesce to the authority of Christ, the Anointed One
we tend to put walls up in many aspects of society
to keep us in and others out, to cut off humanity
be they wood, concrete, cement or steel
physical barriers that are very real
we also put up invisible walls inside of our minds
psychological barriers that keep us in a mental bind
disappointments, failure, illness and pain
emotional barriers that cause us some strain
don't put your faith in the hands of mere men
for mankind will let you down again and again
and when God gave Joshua a most direct and specific command
how to shout down the walls around Jericho and on His word to stand
shout, shout shout, shout the Lord God did say
shout down the walls in your life and trust in God to lead the way
