When the Walls Come Down
4HIM · Face the Nation [1991]
A long time ago
Near a city called Jericho
A band of soldiers
All gathered around
And Joshua said
When it's time to go
You'll be marching
To the rhythm of the trumpet sound
Oh there were those
Who still had their doubts
That they could take the town
But don't you know
They became believers
When the Walls came down
CHORUS
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Well some people
Pray for a Miracle everyday
At times they wonder
Where Heaven has gone
Though everyone says just
To Keep the faith
It's so hard to keep believing
When it takes so long
Oh once again
Try to reach beyond the walls
You can't get through
And don't give in
Or you'll miss the answer
That He has for you
If you really believe in what you're askin'
Then just leave it up to Him
You just rest assured that it's gonna happen
It's just a matter of when
Near a city called Jericho
A band of soldiers
All gathered around
And Joshua said
When it's time to go
You'll be marching
To the rhythm of the trumpet sound
Oh there were those
Who still had their doubts
That they could take the town
But don't you know
They became believers
When the Walls came down
CHORUS
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Where you gonna be
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna be
Well some people
Pray for a Miracle everyday
At times they wonder
Where Heaven has gone
Though everyone says just
To Keep the faith
It's so hard to keep believing
When it takes so long
Oh once again
Try to reach beyond the walls
You can't get through
And don't give in
Or you'll miss the answer
That He has for you
If you really believe in what you're askin'
Then just leave it up to Him
You just rest assured that it's gonna happen
It's just a matter of when
When the Walls Come Down
Released in 1991 on the album Face the Nation, this track by 4HIM blends contemporary Christian music with a distinct rock edge. The song reflects the group's signature style, merging acoustic guitar-driven melodies with powerful vocals to explore themes of spiritual refuge and personal struggle. As part of their early discography, the recording captures the era's shift toward more rock-oriented worship anthems, distinguishing 4HIM from purely acoustic acts of the time. It remains a notable example of their contribution to the genre, showcasing their ability to create emotionally resonant music that bridges traditional hymnody with modern rock instrumentation.
