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
