When The Towers Fall Down

When The Towers Fall Down

On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall down.  Isaiah 30:25

Who will fight your battles
tear the towers down
give you rivers from the hilltops
fountains in the ground

make the moon shine extra bright
even magnify the sun
hear the anguished midnight cry
show you He's the one

Your eyes will see the Teacher
who whispers from behind
this is the way go left or right
the territories mine

and you will scatter unclean things
tell them to be gone
so much for silver, gold or jewels
they couldn't buy your song

Instead He'll give you rain and seed
for planting in the ground
which He will grow and magnify
with blessings all around

On high He longs to show compassion
but cares for justice too
He surely will be sweet and gracious
if longing comes from you

So when the things that are most trusted
go burning up in fire
and His anger shakes the very ground
everything that you desire

All the gods are merely rubble
your armies have run away
cloudburst, downpour, hailstorms
and yet you're still OK

There will be gladness in the heart
and parties in the night
praise God the towers are torn down
and you don't have to fight
