Lyrics
Verse 1: Jasmine Mullen
We are tired of building empires
How useless are Jericho's walls
There's no glory in Babylon's tower
Every idol we've built is too small
Pre-Chorus: Jasmine Mullen
All of our plans
The works of our hands
We've cradled and worshipped too long
Let them fall, Let them fall, Let them fall
Chorus: Jasmine Mullen w/ Antoine Bradford
Let our eyes be fixed
On you alone
And our hearts be filled
With your great love
Let our lives be lived
For one thing only
Let everything else
Everything else will fall
Verse 2: Leslie Jordan w/ Antoine Bradford
We are tired of holding up fences
Standing on opposite sides
While the lines that we draw are illusions
There's no power in living with pride

Meaning & Inspiration
Let Them Fall contrasts human monuments with devotion centered on Jesus. Jericho, Babylon, idols, plans, and fences become images of achievements or divisions that have been held too tightly. The repeated request that they fall is therefore an act of surrender. Rather than celebrating what human hands can preserve, the lyric asks for eyes fixed on Christ, hearts filled with his love, and lives ordered around one lasting purpose.
The second verse extends that surrender into relationships by rejecting pride and the false boundaries that keep people on opposite sides. Its bridge answers every competing claim with the confession that the kingdom, power, and glory belong to Jesus forever. The song aligns closely with biblical warnings against trusting handmade idols and with the call to seek Gods kingdom first. Repetition reinforces the central choice: temporary structures may collapse, but attention, love, and allegiance can remain directed toward Christ alone.
