Heaven Came Down
David Crowder · Illuminate [2003]
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
