As Above, So Below
Jeremy Riddle's song 'As Above So Below - Fisher of Men' is a heartfelt prayer for God's kingdom to manifest on earth. It opens with humility and dependence, acknowledging human need and the weight of suffering. The lyrics echo the Lord's Prayer, asking for God's will to be done and His kingdom to come. The song expresses compassion for the hungry, thirsty, and dying, and declares that only God can bring help and change. It concludes with a cry to God as Father, invoking the intimacy of 'Abba' and the Spirit's work in believers.
Here now we're coming
Humbly now we're waiting
Children in need of daily bread
Our storehouses are empty
Our burdens are weighty
Pain, disease, and strife on every side
Father, Father in heaven, in heaven
Holy, Holy is Your name, Your name
Let Your Kingdom, let Your Kingdom
Let it come, Lord, let it come, Lord
On earth God, on earth
As in Heaven, in Heaven
The hungry still hungry
The thirsty still thirsty
The face of death, it haunts too many eyes
Whom else can we look to
There is no help but You
Your rule and reign is needed on the earth
Hear the cry of Your children
Your sons and Your daughters
Born of Your Spirit
To You we cry Abba
