Come Down Lord Lyrics (Key E)

1. Come down, Lord, my son is ill

Wracked with fever the live-long day.

He is life to me, if you will,

Drive death away, drive death away.

Lord, do not come to my house,

I’m unworthy, Speak and the promise is sealed.

For when Your Word, O God, is spoken,

He shall be healed, he shall be healed.

2. Come down, Lord, my soul is ill,

Wracked with anguish the livelong day.

All my sorrowing will be still,

If you but say, if You but say.

Lord, do not come to my house,

I’m unworthy, Speak and the promise is sealed.

For when Your Word, O God, is spoken,

I shall be healed, I shall be healed.

3. Come down, Lord, the world is ill,

Wrack with bloodshed the livelong day.

Man must struggle for peace until

You show the way, you show the way.

Lord do not come to our house, we’re unworthy,

Speak and the promise is sealed.

For when Your Word, O God, is spoken,

We shall be healed, we shall be healed.
