Love Came Down

A hush fell on the city, the streets were bleak 
and bare, the happy people all gone home,
 their Christmas gifts to share.
When down the road came Tommy, disheveled
 and all alone, an empty bottle in his
 hand, no place call his own.
No hope, no joy, no love to share.  A tear
came to his eye.
A wasted life, there's nothing left, his only hope to die.

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

The cruel waves beat on the shore, the deadly
rocks beneath, a single beam of light shone
forth, to warn of sudden grief.
Alone the keeper of the light must sit in his small
room, and yearn for wife and children dear,
singing "Silent Night" at home.

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

Here is Nujarin, she Loves her son, his body
now wasted away, as the African sun beats
down on his head, No energy left to play.
No food to feed this starving child, no water to 
wet his brow, no gifts to give, no song to sing.
Oh death, Please take him now.

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

The Christmas tree was all decked out,
her little gifts were wrapped, Old Sarah
sat in her hospital room, dejected, lonely
and trapped "Last year my family never
came, they're supposed to come at eight",
but now the lights are all turned out,
"I'll just sit here and wait".

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

"I need a fix", what a time to come down,
happy faces, trees and light, "I need to get lost
in my world of drugs, how else to get thru
this night, I've been on the streets since the 
age of 12, I've known nothing but sex and drugs,
I need a fix, there's no way out, Can anyone
prove that there's Love?"

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

It's 5 O'clock, it's Christmas eve, let's put on
our dancing shoes, go on the town, let down
our hair, the party's free and there's lots of beer,
We can drink and dance this night away,
No care in the world for us, the music's loud,
the talk is cheap, and a good time is a must.

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

"My name is Danny, I'm only 10, I've been
in care since 8, cause my Mother committed suicide,
and for help it was too late,
So they put me in this foster home, with promise
of safety and Love, and what I got was doubtful
stares, as if they stood high above!"
"All I want is just a friend, can't they see my need!
While they mingle in their perfect home,
My broken life, it bleeds."

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

"There's a meeting tonight, I can hardly wait
to worship my Savior Most High, But I must 
wear black to hide in the dark, or the soldiers
will see me pass by."
They had gathered in secret to praise their Lord,
born on this Christmas eve, but the soldiers came
in and took them away, what courage it took to believe.
They were tortured and beaten and put in jail,
but they kept on praising GOD, Up until the shots
rang out, it amazed the firing squad.

..........BUT LOVE CAME DOWN

These things you've read are really true,
despair and destitution,
hearts are broken, lives torn down,
the world has No solution.

Almost two thousand years ago
on a night, just like tonight,
In a stable bare, In a little town,
GOD brought forth his light.

There is Hope for all the wasted lives,
If believers head this Call,
And spread the Christmas Message

......That JESUS Came Down For All !!
