Down Here

What in this life ain’t passing?
Big deals and beggars end in ashes
All go from cradle to casket
Down here
What in this world ain’t busted?
Crowns and cathedrals rusted
Is there a thing we can trust in
Down here
CHORUS:
Up there
The prayers of generations split the clouds
The groans of all creation turn to shouts
Up there
The One who has no start and no goodbye
The One who mourns our fall hears our cry
And comes to live with us and die for us
Down here
What in my heart ain’t twisted?
I’ve kissed for less than thirty pieces
Oh, God, can heaven even reach me — so far
Down here
CHORUS
CHORUS 2:
Up there
The One who has no start and no goodbye
The One who mourns our fall hears our cry
Up there
The prayers of generations split the clouds
The groans of all creation turn to shouts
Up there
The One who has no start and no goodbye
The One who mourns our fall hears our cry
And comes to live with us and die for us and live through us
Down here
(Emmanuel, God with us
Our King has come to bring salvation
Emmanuel, God with us
Our king has come for us
Our king has come)
