Turn Up the Music by Glen Allen Green Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1987

Ooh, turn it up

Jericho lay sleeping
As the generals held their meeting
The army of the Lord awaited battle plans
Joshua was speaking
But his warriors weren't believing their ears
'Cause he said, "carry the trumpets
To the front and tell me"

Turn up the music, lads
The Lord has spoken
Shout and the walls will tumble down
Turn up the music, now
The evil's broken
Lying in pieces on the ground

A grim committee
They marched around the city
And on the seventh day
They circled seven times
There beneath the sunset
Joshua called his trumpets to rest
And he said, "here's a symphony
A victory now"
Turn up the music, lads
The Lord has spoken
Shout and the walls will tumble down
Turn up the music, now
The evil's broken
Lying in pieces on the ground

The trumpets blasted a note
Of warning to the brick and the mortar
The echoes carried His message higher, louder
The walls were starting to tremble
When all of Israel assembled
Shouted for the God of creation
Shouted for the birth of their nation
Shouted for the years of their wandering
Shouted and the walls came a-tumblin' down

Ooh, turn it up

Can you not hear it?
The music of His Spirit
The music of a faith that never knew defeat
Many walls are standing
New Jerichos demanding the fall
But who'll blow the horns?
Who'll come to His call
When He says, "carry your trumpets
To the front now"?
Come on!
Turn up the music, lads
The Lord has spoken
Shout and the walls will tumble down
Turn up the music, now
The evil's broken
Lying in pieces on the ground

Turn up the music, lads
The Lord has spoken
Shout and the walls will tumble down
Turn up the music, now
The evil's broken
Lying in pieces on the ground...
