Jericho

There's a terror in the city
A fright that's caught my eye
Behind their heavy walls
All my friends have gone to hide

They've heard that Judgement's coming
They've heard that God's alive
They've heard that He'll be coming soon
They hope that they'll survive

But Jericho, Oh Jericho
Your walls are paper thin
You think that all your fear and doubt
Will guard you from your sin

But Jericho, Oh Jericho
What foolishness you've known
I didn't come to hurt your heart
I came to save your soul
I came to save your soul

There's a prostitute inside my heart
She cries herself to sleep
But in the terror of the night
She finds a hope to keep

Her safe from all her own mistakes
And troubles of this world
Shes found a hope in Christ alone
There is a scarlet chord

Oh Jericho, My Jericho
There's safety from your sin
The walls of strength will soon come down
And leave you safe within

The hands of one who's strong enough
To save you from yourself
You'll find your soul's been satisfied
Your heart will now be well
Your heart will now be well

And if you come across the fear
We all have to some extent
Remember walls are nothing if
The problem lies within

To deal with fear, you'll need a love
That carries all your cares
And strips away the punishment
Of all your deadly errs

The love of Christ, Oh saving Grace!
Fortress Eternally,
Will guard my heart and mind
With joy and more than perfect peace

He heals the wounds, He pays the debts
I'm finally set free
It's not my burden anymore
In Love, He cares for me
In Love, He cares for me
