Breaking down the walls!
He is breaking down the walls
built by hatred and pride--
Thick walls that divide
the peoples and tribes.
Breaking down the walls!
He is breaking down the walls:
Walls of anger and strife
our Lord Jesus Christ
Gave up his own life
to break down.
In Christ there is
neither woman nor man,
nor slave nor free,
But young and old
from each nation and clan
come in unity.
For we all are in need of his grace:
whatever our language or race,
All must enter God's Most Holy Place
by the blood of his Son.
And the Body of Christ our Savior
makes us one!
Breaking down the walls!
He is breaking down the walls,
For with power he arose
to defeat mighty foes--
Babylons! Jerichos!
Breaking down the walls!
He is breaking down the walls
built by hatred and pride;
For the blood from the side
of the Lamb crucified
breaks them down.
By the blood from the side
of the Lamb crucified,
Let us also decide
to break them down!
