HE STILL CAME DOWN
Words and Music by Robert Milliren and Susan R. Jones
Asheville Music Publishing / BMI Chris White Music / BMI
VERSE 1: Imagine, if you will, a scene in heaven
Where the angels gather ‘round the Savior’s throne.
He’s preparing to attempt the greatest rescue
The heavens and the earth have ever known.
Far beyond the sphere of Glory they are dying
In a lost and lonely world that knows no hope.
The angels, one by one, approach King Jesus:
“Do you realize the danger? Do you know?
CHORUS 1: And are you still going down
Knowing all that lies before you?
There’s poison and pain, man’s rejection and blame,
It could even cost Your life!”
But He never paused a moment
As He stepped into the realm of this old world.
He alone could offer hope. Tell the angels it’s so,
He’s still going down!
VERSE 2: Now, I don’t know if such a scene transpired.
I don’t know if angels spoke to Him that day.
But if, indeed, the conversation happened
Well, I know the answer Jesus gave.
BRIDGE: For the angels bent low in the night sky below
To witness Jesus’ birth.
They spread the good news, their chorus grew:
Glory to God! Peace to earth!
CHORUS 2: For Jesus came down
Knowing all that lie before Him.
Poison and pain, man’s rejection and blame,
Why, He even gave His life.
And He never paused a moment
As He stepped into the realm of this old world.
He alone could break through. With everything He knew
He still came down!
TAG: Now, imagine, if you will, the scene in heaven
As the angels gather ‘round the Savior’s throne.
