Biography:
The band started in spring of 2006 when Tim and Andrew were on opposite sides of the country talking about potentially working together. Andrew ended up moving from California to Charlottesville, Virginia while Tim was finishing up school at UVA. By then, Luan and Tim were already playing music together and Tim had written and recorded a few solo tracks. So the trio began as "Tim Be Told."
The band has released two LPs (Getting By in 2007 and Humanity in 2011) and an EP (From the Inside in 2009).

Verse 1:
C G
Brick by brick with stilts and sticks
Am C
you build your empire walls

Trick by trick you punch and kick
Am C
untl the other falls
C G
You primp and press expensive dress
Am C
as if God Himself would be impressed
Am G C
that you look your very best
Chorus:
C/G G Am C
So raise up your kingdoms and thrones
Am G C
turn the broken and the weak away
C/G G Am C
God is not in a temple of stone
Am G C
He is the outcast of these walls you've made
Verse 2:
C G
Lip to lip you lie and quip
Am C
to bring your brother down
Am G
you tear and strip and crack your whip
Am C
to twist a thorny crown
C G
Too proud to share or ever carry
Am C
burdens you refuse to bear
Am G C
While you stand afar and stare
Chorus:
C/G G Am C
So raise up your kingdoms and walls
Am G C
turn the broken and the weak away
C/G G Am C
God is not in a temple of stone

So you will be like Jericho

I will sing with a mighty roar
Am G C
'Till the walls come down

There is a kingdom that loves

Where the weak are never turned away
