Where The Walls Once Stood

I wrote this song when I found myself in the tension between what seemed impossible and what God had promised me. The story of Jericho has always stuck with me.  An entire city sealed shut behind massive walls, with no visible weaknesses. From a human perspective, it was unwinnable. Yet God didn’t tell His people to bring bigger weapons or use smarter tactics. 

He asked them to be obedient. Rarely are the strongest walls in our lives made of stone. 

They are built from fear, shame, disappointment, addiction, broken relationships, or prayers that seem to echo without an answer. We so often learn to live in the shadow of those walls, assuming they won’t ever move.

But God specializes in the impossible. This song is a celebration. It is about turning around and seeing rubble where something once held you captive. It is about the moment you realize that the barrier you thought defined your future is now evidence of God’s faithfulness.

Because when God moves, He does not just crack the walls. He brings them all the way down.
