At the walls of Jericho 

They proudly stood firm

The mass of Israel did their fears confirm

Yet they stood guarding their city and its whorings

Awaiting the wrath that God was storing

At the walls of Jericho

They stood atop their fortification

Standing in their fornication

Opposed those whom God had blessed

The God against whose laws they had transgressed

At the walls of Jericho

Their idols could not grant victory

Idols of stone and of ivory

Awaiting their damnation and their doom

Spun by sin as at the loom

At the Walls of Jericho

Round and round marched the massed multitude

Facing thousands of footsteps, they stood with fortitude

The thumping of thousands upon thousands

Myriads upon myriads marched and shouted

and in seconds

Fell the Walls of Jericho
