He little face against the window

It's another lonely night

He's thinking about her daddy once again

Mom sadly watches on she can't fill the void

In desperation she cries to her dear friend


Come down please Jesus come on down

Heal our broken world and make it right

Come down please Jesus come on down

The hopes and fears of all the years

Still rest in you tonight


The little house they once called a home

They'd soon be forced to leave

The jobs were gone nothing coming in

Their future that once looked bright

Grew dimmer with each day

With faith that's strong they cry out to Him


We can be assured that all will turn our right

As we rest in you tonight
