Come Down

So a new song I wrote today, based on Lamentations 1:1-2, but also on the American nation.

This city sleeps alone, on a pillow soaked with tears
The love has left this place, a love once so sincere

A slave among princesses, a burned match in the night
How it longs for redemption, Someone to restore its sight

Chorus:
So come down, come down, Forgive us for our many wrongs
Come down, O God, Come down, Let us praise You with our songs
Let us give you all the love that we have stored away
Come down, O God, and wipe our tears away

The great has fallen down, from the seat above the world
Though it tries to live without You, it's still a Father's girl


A slave among princesses, a burned match in the night
How it longs for redemption, Someone to restore its sight

Bridge:
And though our father's sought You with everything they had
Our nation looks at You as just a decent man
