Tumblin’ Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just like a fool on sinking sand I didn't know what was going down I let my pride and vanity Turn me away from reality [Pre-Chorus] All of my strength and security Were built upon the walls of society But all I had were sandcastles next to the raging sea Don't you see [Chorus] They came a-tumblin' down (They came a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho They came a-tumblin' down (They came a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho They came a-tumblin' down [Post-Chorus] Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Then in the ruins of my broken life I saw the gleam of a distant light I felt the warmth of a gentle touch I felt the strength as it picked me up [Pre-Chorus] Love was in His eyes as He said to me "Don't put your faith in physical things Nothing of this world is forever, you've got to see Don't you see?" [Chorus] They'll come a-tumblin' down (They'll come a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho They'll come a-tumblin' down (They'll come a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho [Bridge] Nothing of this world is forever, you see? Don't spend your life chasin' physical things Everything you need, you can find it only Him Only Him Put your trust in Him [Chorus] They'll come a-tumblin' down (They'll come a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho They'll come a-tumblin' down (They'll come a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho [Outro] (They'll come a-tumblin' down) Just like the walls of Jericho (They'll come a-tumblin' down) They'll come a-tumblin' down (They'll come a-tumblin' down) (They'll come a-tumblin' down) (They'll come a-tumblin' down) (Down, down, down, down, down) (Down, down, down, down, down)
