Lyrics
I’ve been stacking up the years I spent trading punches with the enemy
Built myself a double-thick, stone tower of lies, higher than the eye could see
Trapped in my flesh and bone
Crying out to You, Lord, I’m desperate
Love come rattle this cage and set me free
[Chorus]
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
O Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fеars, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, comе down
Come down
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
Truth was crashing through the pride and the blame, cutting straight to the heart of me
Long before I ever called Your name, You were fighting for my victory
Carved in Your flesh and bone
The wounds that have said my soul’s forgiven
Oh, now I can feel the darkness trembling
[Chorus]
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
O Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
Come down
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
[Bridge]
Rebuild me from the ground up
All I wanna see is You
Terrify the lies with truth
[Chorus]
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
O Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fears, like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
Come down
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm-mm
Jericho walls gotta come down, come down
Come down

Story Behind The Song
“Jericho” by Andrew Ripp is a powerful anthem of breakthrough and freedom. Rooted in the biblical story of Jericho, where the walls came crashing down through faith and obedience, the song speaks to the personal battles we all face. Ripp’s passionate vocals and the driving beat create an atmosphere of victory, reminding us that no stronghold is too great for God to tear down. The lyrics testify to the transformative power of God’s love, as He breaks through fear, doubt, and anything that keeps us from fully embracing His grace.
This song is a celebration of deliverance—a declaration that when God steps in, nothing can stand in His way. Just as the Israelites marched in faith around Jericho, we are called to trust that God is at work even when we can’t see it. Jericho is more than just a song; it’s an encouragement to keep believing, keep praising, and keep trusting that God is bringing victory in our lives.
