(14) Bring Down the Walls

Bring Down the Walls - Gene Miller
Words and Music by Scott Brasher and Merrill Farnsworth, 1997

Lyrics:
For forty years we wandered
Through the desert sand
Hoping we could find
God’s Promised Land
And now it’s here before us
Behind a fortress tall
But it will not be ours until we bring down the walls

(Chorus)
Bring down the walls – of Jericho
Bring down the walls – lift your horns and blow
The sound we make is gonna shake this city to the ground
We’ll see the Promised Land when the walls come down

We believe in God – that He is with us here
His power is much greater than that army over there
Our enemies are laughing, but their kingdom soon will fall
When we raise our voices we will bring down the walls

(Repeat Chorus)

So shout out loud – shout out strong
That wall around the city won’t keep us out for long
Sing to God, one and all
The land that we were promised is right behind those walls

(Repeat Chorus)

We’ll see the Promised Land when the walls come down

Is this the same Gene Miller who did the singing voice of Kovu in _The Lion King II: Simba's Pride_ at some point?
