Just like a fool on sinkin' sand I didn't know what was goin' 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 ragin' 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 Nothin' of this world is forever You've got to see, don't you see?"
