Tear down the strong walls—iron bars that we trust in
Tear down all our treasures of earth that will rust
Hedge in every way we might flee for protection
Till only in You have we put all our trust
Far be it from us to rely on another
When You were our Savior from youth until now
We rest upon You, our strong King and our Father
And only to You shall our knees ever bow
Tear down the deceptions—all pride, self-reliance
Get rid of ourselves till we fully are Yours
Your banner alone we shall raise toward these giants
Your Name is our vict’ry far past Jordan’s shores
Tear down every chain of this world that would bind us
Tear down our heart’s boundaries—our walls to the dust
For only Your Spirit and grace ever saves us
Come change us, till only in You do we trust
