What in this life ain’t passing?
Big deals and beggars turn to ashes
All go from cradle to casket
Down here

What in this world ain’t busted?
Crowns and cathedrals rusted
Is there a thing to trust in
Down here?

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 and hears our cries
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

Up there
The prayers of generations split the clouds
The groans of all creation turn to shouts
Turn to shouts
Up there
The One who has no start and no goodbye
The One who mourns our fall and hears our cries
Comes to live with us and die for us
Down here
