God of earth and altar Please hear our cry Kings of earth, they falter People drift and die Walls of gold entomb us Scornful hearts divide Take not Your Presence from us But take away our pride Let these walls come down Let these walls come down Every heart cry out Let these walls come down From all that terror teaches From lies of tongue and pen From all the empty speeches That comfort foolish men From sale and acquisition Of people and the sword From apathy and numbness Deliver us, O Lord Let these walls come down Let these walls come down Every heart cry out Let these walls come down Hear our prayer Hear our prayer Hear our prayer Hear our prayer May we call out for the voiceless May we sit with them and weep May we plead for them in silence Plead for their relief Walls comes down
