ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE LIVED WITHIN THESE WALLS
A city, a fortress, a stronghold round my soul.
With God on my side, I know I can overcome.
With God on my side, with You on my side,
Yes, I’m gonna lift up a shout.
Jericho, yeah, your walls are falling down,
Jericho, can You hear the trumpets sound.
Jericho, Jericho,
I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid.
I will not be afraid, I will not be afraid, oh, oh.
Father in heaven, I’m calling on Your name;
It isn’t as easy as some would dare to say.
Give me the courage to fight and not lose hope.
With God on my side, with You on my side,
I’m still gonna lift up a shout.
I’m not afraid for I know You are with me;
You are my God, nothing can come against me.
With You on my side, the end is in sight,
So I’m gonna keep marching on.
Jericho,
Your walls are coming down, Jericho
