"Bricks to the Sky"

Tower of Babel – “Bricks to the Sky”

(Drum intro with hammers and chisels to the beat)

(Verse 1)

Stone by stone, they raised the frame

Every heart beat with the same proud flame

“Build it higher, touch the sun

Let the name of man be the only one”

Hands and hammers, voices loud

The tower climbed above the clouds

(Chorus)

Bricks to the sky, reaching too far

Forgetting the One who made the stars

But the Lord came down, saw their plan

And scattered the speech of every man

Bricks to the sky, now on the ground

The mighty tower couldn’t stand the sound

(Verse 2)

From the east they came, one voice, one tongue

With the pride of kings on every rung

“Who needs heaven, we can rise

On the strength of stone, we’ll touch the skies”

But the wind of God tore through the land

And words turned strange in every hand

(Chorus)

Bricks to the sky, reaching too far

Forgetting the One who made the stars

But the Lord came down, saw their plan

And scattered the speech of every man

Bricks to the sky, now on the ground

The mighty tower couldn’t stand the sound

(Bridge)

And the lesson still rings clear and loud

He’ll humble the hearts that grow too proud

Not by towers, not by fame

Only by lifting up His name

(Final Chorus)

Bricks to the sky, but the stone will fall

Every kingdom will hear His call

From every nation, every tongue

His kingdom comes, His will be done
