Tumblin' Down Songtext
von David Meece

Just like a fool on sinking sand
I didn′t know what was going down
I let my pride and my vanity
Turn me away from reality

All of my strength and security
Built upon the walls of society
All I had were sandcastles next to the raging 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)
Yeah, yeah, yeah


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
Nothing of this world is forever, you′ve got to see
Don't you see?"

They′ll come a-tumblin' down
(They′ll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They'll come a-tumblin′ down
(They′ll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho

Nothing of this world is forever, you see
Don′t spend your life chasing physical things
Everything you need, you can find it in only Him
Only Him, put your trust in Him


They'll come a-tumblin′ down
(They'll come a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They come a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho

(They′ll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho (come a-tumblin′ down)
They'll come a-tumblin′ down
(They come a-tumblin' down)
(They′ll come a-tumblin' down)
(They come a-tumblin' down)
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
