The Walls Heard Us Coming

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison]
The walls heard us coming
The walls heard us coming
Seven days walking
The walls heard us coming

No sword swinging
No battle cry
Just faith in motion
And God on our side

The walls heard us coming
The walls heard us coming
When the people gave a shout
The walls came down

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
Walk when He says walk
Wait when He says wait
Trust every instruction
Even when it feels strange

Round after round
Step after step
God was doing something
We had not seen yet

Keep walking
Keep trusting
Keep moving at His sound

[Chorus – Choir Snaps and Brass Hits]
The walls heard us coming
The walls heard us coming
Trumpets kept blowing
The walls heard us coming

One more round
One more sound
The promise stood before us
And the wall came down

The walls heard us coming
The walls heard us coming
When obedience found a voice
The walls came down

[Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes]
Not by muscle
Not by might

Not by numbers
In the fight

God gave the pattern
God gave the plan

They followed His word
And entered the land

Walk it out
Walk it out
Do exactly what He said

[Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove]
Round one
Keep walking

Round two
Keep walking

Round three
Keep walking

Round four
Keep walking

Round five
Keep walking

Round six
Keep walking

Round seven
Lift your voice

Shout now
Shout now
Shout now

The wall fell flat
The way opened wide
What stood against us
Could not survive

[Choir Run – Tight Vocal Layers]
Faith kept walking
Faith kept moving

Faith kept trusting
God kept proving

No crack showing
No sign in sight

But God was working
Every night

Keep the rhythm
Keep the sound

When God says shout
The wall comes down

[Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution]
Jericho stood
But Jericho fell

God gave the promise
And kept it well

We walked by faith
We followed His sound

And when we shouted
The wall came down

The walls heard us coming
The walls heard us coming

[Final Choir Hit]
Down!
