Down Here
Words & Music by Shaun GrovesWhat in this life ain’t passing
Big deals and beggars end in ashes
All go from cradle to casket
Down hereWhat in this world ain’t busted
Crowns and cathedrals rusted
Is there a thing we can 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, hears our cry
And comes to live with us and die for us down hereWhat 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
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 hereUp there
The One who has no start and no goodbye
The One who mourns our fall, hears our cry(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)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

I was listening to this song yesterday, thinking about Good Friday.
Later I read that Christ was made sin for my sake. I know how unworthy I am, yet as I contemplate the cross this morning, the thing that is most striking is God’s great love, not the condemnation which my heart tells me I deserve. And it’s a small love, too, because it says ‘I love you’.
Wishing you, your family and your blog followers a peaceful, grace-filled Easter 🙂

Although I have 2 copies of this CD, I went to your store a few minutes ago and bought a copy for my Compassion Advocate Rep. I can’t get enough of this CD!!
