I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now
[Chorus:]
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus
[Chorus]
You know that when it all comes down
[Chorus]
I've got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light
I've got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now
[Chorus]
I'll tell you when it all comes down
[Chorus]
