1. Come down, O Lord, and split the skies;
Come make the mountains quake.
You are the fire that kindles us,
That makes the godless shake.
2 From ancient days no one has heard
Nor seen a God like You,
A God who acts on our behalf,
A God who's on the move.
Chorus:
Come down, O Lord, and rend our hearts;
Come down, O Lord, revive!
We rouse ourselves--take hold of You;
Come down and show us Christ!
3 We are like one who is unclean;
Self-righteous deeds pollute.
We fade away just like a leaf,
Adrift and destitute.
We have continued long in sin,
Will You reach down to save?
You are the Potter of our lives,
Come now reshape Your clay. Chorus
5 Remember not our former sins;
Hold back what we are due.
We are the people of Your name;
Return us back to You! Chorus
