Edit #1

 

Jericho(?) (edit #1)

Wall to wall is filled with pictures
Of everything I've ever known
Black and white, the room is spinning
Recordings play in monotone
Slowly these things lose their meaning
And all I've valued looks like trash
The times I've spent my life on nothing
Trading conscience for cash
A glimmer in a darkened room
Reveals a bright and shining cross
Which lay there, buried, for an age
I feel a searing sense of loss

Dear God are you still up there listening?
Do you remember who I am?
Can you still see me through my sin
Can I still run to you again?
Break down these walls of Jericho
God, I want to see your face again
Take these pictures and all I've wanted
I give my life into your hands

Dear God these walls refuse to crack
And I don't want to be alone
Will I be left here? Will these walls break?
Or won't you, God, just take me home?

Break down these walls of Jericho
God, I want to see your face again
Take all my idols and all I've valued
I give my life into your hands

People laugh scorningly at this longing
And at times ignorance seems like bliss
But, God to follow you always
Means to throw all pride away like this
And dear God the World is just so tainted
At times the grey appears to be white
But though temptation seems so strong
God give me strength to put up a fight

Break down these walls of Jericho
God I want to see your face again
Take my dreams and all that I've planned
I give my life into your hands
