Song Lyrics

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
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
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
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
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?"

David Meece
