The intercessors gathered to pray,
\nAgainst strongholds they came that day,
\nFoundations shook and mountains trembled,
\nAs this small group that had assembled,
\nHumbled themselves before the Lord
\nAnd began to pray upon His Word.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh God, forgive us of our sins,
\nFor evil thoughts that enter in
\nOh take away our hearts of stone
\nAnd make them flesh, your blood atone
\nAnd by your grace and mercy come
\nOh Lord forgive the things we\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n
Oh, please, Dear Lord show us your will
\nMay our minds be open for you to fill
\nWith your words, your thoughts, your plan,
\nAnd Lord, please help us understand
\nThe things that hinder and entangle us so
\nOh Father, let your Spirit flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sound of prayer then filled the place,
\nAnd on each weary warrior\u2019s face
\nWas a look of confidence,
\nAs gaps they filled and did commence
\nTo intercede: <\/p>\n
\u201cPULL DOWN THE WALLS OF PREJUDICE
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS OF HATE AND PRIDE
\nTHROUGH THE POWER OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS, OH LORD DO RIDE
\nTHROUGH STRONGHOLDS HELD BY DARKNESS\u2019 MIGHT
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS AND BRING THE LIGHT!<\/p>\n
Then the Holy Spirit fell
\nWith power and might no words can tell
\nWhat was uttered left and uttered right
\nBut the Lord\u2019s army commenced to fight
\nFor freedom from the chains that bound
\nSo many people in this town,
\nSo many people all around.<\/p>\n
\u201cDRAW US TO YOU LORD WE PRAY
\nFIGHT FOR THEM AS WELL TODAY!
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS OF PREJUDICE
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS OF HATE AND PRIDE
\nTHROUGH THE POWER OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS, OH LORD DO RIDE
\nTHROUGH STRONGHOLDS HELD BY DARKNESS\u2019 MIGHT
\nPULL DOWN THE WALLS AND BRING THE LIGHT!<\/p>\n
