Lyrics for "You Came Down" Rivers of tears Run down my cheeks Rivers of tears Flow without ceasing, Waters rising Over my head My legs are dead And I am sinking

Do I cry in vain "I called on your name" Do I cry in vain from the depths of despair Can You hear me, can you hear my prayer Will You crush me in my pain? Do I hope in vain?

Chorus: You came (Down!)down to me you heard my cry, 'Do not close your ear" You came (Down!) down to me Saying, 'Do not fear!' You came down to me And You drew near

"You've taken up my cause, O Lord; You saved my life Even on this day You are making it right

You repay the evil one Who does not care for truth You destroy the wicked Who slays the righteous in their youth

We have so much to be grateful for, and most of all we can give thanks for Christ Jesus leaving the heights of heaven and coming to dwell among us, taking our sin, destroying death and making eternity in heaven possible to thise who call upon His name. Chad meditates on this most wonderful hymn from Paul's letter to the Phillipians and calls us to be ever grateful for the finished work of our Saviour. Jeff Anderson sings "You Took the Way Down".
