When You Come Down Lyrics
All of me longs for you, Light of the world
Coming soon, breaking through all this pain
Falling down, calling out, your love surrounding me
For you I wait, In you I wait
I will look to the day when you're coming again
To heal the hearts of men - when you come down
Let us look to the sky with redemption in our eyes
Watch the world come alive - when you come down
Song Description:
"It seems increasingly funny and sad to me that Christ has promised me life-abundant and life-everlasting, and yet I can get so mired in daily heartache and disappointment. We are called to look for all of our hope in the fact that Jesus will return and mend our brokenness, and in the meantime, offers peace amidst our turmoil. When You Come Down is a call to myself and others to place our hope squarely in Jesus. Somedays I get so caught up in the drama of life and the problems I encounter that I forget the hope I have. On these days, it dawns on me all over again that I need to be anticipating the return of Jesus and joyfully trusting in Him in the meantime. If we truly believe in Christ, then His second coming is not a passing thought or a fairy tale, it is a reality to be expected and delighted in." - Justin Anderson (Mainstay)
