Buildin' the Wall Higher - Spoken Word

Nehemiah 2:19-20 “But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?  Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.”  (KJV)

Buildin’ the Wall Higher

Biblical Leaders
Aren’t just Bible readers,
They take heed
To the Word they read.
They’re one out of millions
Of apathetic civilians.
Called of God
To Carry the Shepherd’s rod
And the Sword of the Spirit
Whether or not folk wanna hear it.

Like Nehemiah
Buildin’ the wall higher
The devil is a liar
Sanbalat and Tobiah were the devil’s tools
Talkin’ like fools.
Both are under our feet
Even as I speak
So, let me repeat…

Biblical Leaders
Aren’t just Bible readers,
They take heed
To the Word they read.
They’ve answered God’s call
To stand up on the wall.
They’re blowin’ the trumpet in Zion
Soundin’ the alarm to the dyin’
And their character shines
Cause they’re filled with new wine.

Like Nehemiah
Buildin’ the wall higher
The devil is a liar
Sanbalat and Tobiah were the devil’s tools
Talkin’ like fools.
Both are under our feet
Even as I speak
So, let me repeat…
