Tear Down The Walls - Lyric Video Download

About the Song

In early summer of 2016, we wrote a simple chant for a liturgy we were leading at Wild Goose Festival, as a prayer for the courage and faith to take down all the walls we put up in our personal lives and in our world. This little chant: “Tear down the walls, tear down the walls between us…” stayed with us and kept growing after the summer was over.  We wrote verses and a bridge, which ended up essentially becoming words of confession…an acknowledgment of our own part in all the wall-building that’s going on these days: “We bring the wood, the iron, the concrete, the fire. We build these walls every day. We carry the hurt, the fears, the shame, and the tears. Our beautiful barricade.” Find the lyrics, sheet music, and an MP3 here.
