Love Steps Down

Deep within the darkest shadowed night
Love begins where no heart can survive
A light appears beyond the grave
And hope is born in silent faith

Far above in a high and lofty place

Far beyond the wisdom of this age

Love steps down in amazing grace

To revive the soul

Crushed below

Beyond all earthly hope

Love steps down

To the deepest darkest place

It knows no bounds,

It does not play it safe

Love stands its ground

When others turn away

Mercy abounds to the lowly

All to show us the highest way

So Holy and pure

Still You draw near

To the broken
So Holy and pure

Still You draw near

To the broken

Near to the broken

Near to the broken

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted;

He rescues those who are crushed in spirit

Psalm 34:18

For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy:

"I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,

to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Isaiah 57:15
