Mary Porter - Jericho

Seven times round the wall and round 
Seven times round and round 
Quietly march with voices stilled 
Seven times round the wall 
Look at the stone on stone on stone  
Look at the solid stone wall 
(Seven hundred years it’s stood) 
Go seven times round the wall.  

March with your banners tied and furled 
Tramp seven times round the wall 
Then SHOUT with a mighty Vict’ry shout 
And blast with the trumpet the “call” 
Watch the collapse of the Jericho guard 
Your seventh time round the wall! 

A Miracle? YES! And ancient with time 
The stones will crumble to dust 
( And Love’s stilled quiet marching force 
Will humble my heart yet again 
No defences are left 
The walls battered down) 
Seven times Love marched around, 
And Jericho was taken.
