Break Down The Walls

w/m Dennis Wheeler - 2002

We have been so very good at

Building up the walls

That separate the children

That GOD would call his own

With a prejudice of doctrine

Or of culture it begins

And a judgement based on gender

or the color of one’s skin

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

we must hope in Lord Jesus

And the sacrifice He made.

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

In the cross we stand together

Members of the human race

I may call myself a Christian

Someone different from you

You may not understand my feelings

I may disagree with you

Your church may not be my church

Or Your beliefs my own

But we need not hate each other

God created each his own

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

we must hope in Lord Jesus

And the sacrifice He made.

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

In the cross we stand together

Members of the human race

I’ve been taught by my Lord Jesus

To forgive and forget

To appreciate creation

And that GOD created it

You may not believe that someone

Named as Jesus saves

But I do believe the cross he bore

Was done that I should say

I must break down the walls

And build up the faith

I must hope in Lord Jesus

And the sacrifice He made.

I must break down the walls

And build up the faith

In the cross we stand together

Members of the human race

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

we must hope in Lord Jesus

And the sacrifice He made.

We must break down the walls

And build up the faith

In the cross we stand together

Members of the human race
