If my heart is overwhelmed
And I cannot hear Your voice
I hold on to what is true
Though I cannot see
If the storms of life they come
And the road ahead gets steep
I will lift these hands in faith
I will believe
I'll remind myself
Of all that You've done
And the life I have
Because of Your son
[Chorus]
Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
Lord I'm forever Yours
Mountains high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
When my heart is filled with hope
Every promise comes my way
When I feel Your hands of grace
Rest upon me
Staying desperate for You, God
Staying humble at Your feet
I will lift these hands in praise
I will believe
I'll remind myself
Of all that You've done
And the life I have
Because of Your son
Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
Mountains high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
All my days
Jesus, I am Yours [x2]
Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
I am forever Your's
Mountains high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours [x2]
Yeah, I am yours, I'm yours, I am yours
Jesus I am yours
"Love Came Down" by Kari Jobe is a beautiful and powerful song that reminds us of the incredible love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lyrics take us on a journey of faith, reminding us of God's faithfulness, His presence in our lives, and His never-ending love for us.
The song begins with the acknowledgment that there are times when our hearts feel overwhelmed and we struggle to hear God's voice. In those moments, we hold on to what is true, even if we cannot see it. This echoes the words of Hebrews 11:1, which tells us that faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
As the song progresses, it speaks of the storms of life and the challenges we face. Yet, in the midst of the difficulties, we are encouraged to lift our hands in faith and believe. This reflects the words of Jesus in Matthew 14:27, where He says, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." We are reminded to trust in God's faithfulness and His ability to rescue us from any situation.
The chorus of the song proclaims the central message of the song: that love came down and rescued us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of God's love breaking through and setting us free. This is a powerful reminder of John 3:16, which says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." It is through the sacrificial love of Jesus that we are set free from sin and given new life.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the importance of staying desperate for God and remaining humble at His feet. It is in these postures of surrender and dependence that we experience His grace and presence in our lives. This echoes the words of Psalm 51:17, which says, "My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." When we come before God with humility and surrender, He meets us with His love and grace.
Overall, "Love Came Down" is a powerful and heartfelt worship song that reminds us of the incredible love of Jesus Christ. It encourages us to hold on to what is true, trust in God's faithfulness, and stay desperate for Him. The lyrics are rooted in Scripture and offer a message of hope and redemption. As we sing this song, we are reminded of the overwhelming love of God that came down to rescue us and set us free. May we always remember and be forever grateful for the love that came down for us.
