Why the Light Came Down

Dark, Dark was the night

When a single star lit the way

To a hollow barn

In a manger where he lay hmm

Cold, cold was the air

When the spirit flowed

When they gave him solid gold

Just as the wise foretold hmm

Three kings, in the middle of a heavenly scene

Bow down as they kneel at his feet

Can you hear the angels repeat?

Repeat, repeat, repeat

Can you tell me why why why would the light come down

Why would he leave his glorious throne? oh

Can you tell me why why why would the light come down

Why would he love us as His own

Yeah hmm

Joy joy to the world

And peace to all men

This is our Savior’s birth

He is the heaven-sent hmm

Go Tell

It all on the mountaintop

It echoes through the hills

A love that is enough

He is enough, is enough

Why why why would the light come down

Why would he leave his glorious throne? oh

Can you tell me why why why would the light come down

Why would he love us as His own

Why why why would the light come down

Why would he leave his glorious throne? oh

Can you tell me why why why would the light come down

Why would he love us as His own

Yeah hmm
