Western Wall Lyrics

Tonight the air above the western wall

Is full of prayers and praises

All rising on the wind until

There high above the wall

These prayers and praises mix with those

From other creatures in other places

Then the cloud of prayers starts rising

To the Maker of it all

It rises up like the dawn of a brand new day

Up like the Son rose from the grave

Up like the One who makes a Way

-- It rises up

Like millions past and millions since

I made my way up to the wall

To meet the Mystery who dwells there

Deep within the ancient stone

I found some paper and a pen

And scrawled my dreams and all my longings

And there between those stones

I left a love note for Shalom

God's love came down like Moses from the holy mount

Down like Christ to Bethlehem town

Down like rain on thirsty ground

-- It all came down

Through the ups and the downs, the rise and fall

The prayers from the wall to the Maker of all

We watch and we wait for dreams fulfilled

Our hopes set on Christ and the kingdom he'll build

Then we'll rise up like the dawn of a brand new day

[Down like Moses from the holy mount]

Up like the Son rose from the grave

[Down like Christ, to Bethlehem town]

Up like the One who makes a way

[Down like rain on thirsty ground]

We're rising up

[He's coming down]

Then we'll rise up like the dawn of a brand new day

[Down like Moses from the holy mount]

Up like the Son rose from the grave

[Down like Christ, to Bethlehem town]

Up like the One who makes a way

[Down like rain on thirsty ground]

We're rising up

[He's coming down]

Through the ups and downs, the rise and fall

We watch and wait

[How long, O Lord]

And we worship at the wall
