THE WORD OF GOD COMES DOWN, 

  COMES DOWN (2013)

​

From realms of Light, 

 through countless ranks of angels, 

  He comes down,

 to lie in Mary's arms, 

  a tiny babe in Bethl'em town.

And in that manger bed there lie 

 all beauty, truth, and love,

 in One Who comes to bear us to 

 our Heav'nly home Above.

​

The Word of God comes down, comes down, 

  to fill our world with grace!

 O joy beyond recounting, 

  as we gaze upon His face!

​

The angels sang to shepherds 

 'neath the canopy of night

 and showed us where to find 

 the gift of supernatural Light.

Beyond the sheepfold of our lives 

 we all must kneel apart:

 the manger lies within the depths 

 of every contrite heart.

​

The Word of God comes down, comes down...

All truth that enters human minds 

  reflects a Heav'nly norm,

 a single pattern from God's Word, 

  now here in Jesus' form.

So wise men came who long before 

  had heard the seraphim,

 to bring their ancient wisdom 

  to its resting place in Him.

​

The Word of God comes down, comes down...

As night and darkness may appear 

  to rule o'er daylight's span,

 so Herod thought his earthly power 

  could slay the Son of Man.

But He was safe with Mary, 

  who embodied every grace,

 secure within the Holy Spirit's 

  fatherly embrace.

​

The Word of God comes down, comes down...
