"HEAVEN CAME DOWN"
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget. After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met. Oh what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul When at the cross the Savior made me whole My sins were washed away My night was turned to day Heaven came down and glory filled my soul yeah.
Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine. Justified fully through Calvary's love Oh what a standing is mine. And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came. Took of the offer of grace He did proffer He saved me Oh praise His dear Name.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul. When at the cross the Savior made me whole. My sins were washed away My night was turned to day Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
