Heaven Came Down

David Crowder · Illuminate [2003]

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul

When at the cross my Savior made me whole

My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, yeah, yeah



Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful day

Day I will never forget

When I was wandering in darkness away

Jesus my Savior I met



When Heaven came down and glory filled my soul

When at the cross my Savior made me whole

My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day

When Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, yeah, yeah



Oh, what a tender compassionate Friend

He met the need of my heart

The shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling

He made all the darkness depart



When Heaven came down and glory filled my soul

When at the cross my Savior made me whole

My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day

When the Heaven came down and glory filled my soul



And oh, what a wonderful, wonderful day, yeah, today

Oh, what a glorious, glorious day

The day You came to save me

Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful day

The day You came and You saved me
