Based in part on 2 Corinthians 2:14-16:
Blowing Down the Walls by Michael Doyle Blown away by righteousness and grace Profound joy takes down all my walls Mercy has taken me to this place I have found my peace in life's squalls Like the walls of Jericho falling The presence of God conquers my soul In the blessed silence I hear His calling Taking my place in reverence to extol I find myself hungering for the good Taking down the walls between others Living my life newly understood Standing with my sisters and brothers For Christ I am willing to be a fool Only caring for His influence and authority Taking my steps within the golden rule Surrendering my all to His sovereignty Blown away by righteousness and grace Profound joy takes down all my walls Mercy has taken me to this place I have found my peace in life's squalls Like the walls of Jericho falling The presence of God conquered my soul In the blessed silence I heard Him call And have taken my place in reverence to extol Like a child embracing life's possibility I have accepted Christ's blessed invitation Skinning my knees as I climb life's tree With a shout of joy, I praise in exaltation Crushed in deep longing to know God's ways I know my badness to my depths of sheer grief Turning my heart and head to good in my days I pray my prayer earnestly seeking His relief Blown away by righteousness and grace Profound joy takes down all my walls Mercy has taken me to this place Having made my peace in life's squalls Like the walls of Jericho falling The presence of God conquers my soul In the blessed silence I heed His call Taking my place in reverence to extol (c) May 18, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
