Brad Irons - God Stepped Down Lyrics

He spoke and all the chaos came to order
One word and silence would not make a sound
He told the land to hold hands with the water
And told the morning sky to touch the ground
The thunder of His voice shook the heavens
As life fell like the raindrops from the sky
Creation came awake to see His glory
As nature wiped the tears from her eyes
But when His heart had planned to make Himself a man
He drew close and He moved His hand
And God stood up and God stepped down
As holy hands dug deep into the dirty ground
And God breathed out and man breathed in
And began to move by the power of His hand
When words were not enough to show His love
God stood up and God stepped down
A choice to make I chose to live without Him
A broken-hearted father watched me go
For love will never force us to be faithful
But Love will find a way to bring us home
And so His love made plans to make Himself a man
He drew close and He moved His hand
And God stood up and God stepped down
As holy feet dug deep into the dirty ground
And God reached out and took my sin
And nailed it to a cross so I could live again
When words were not enough to show His love
God with us He stepped down
Oh the cross
Oh the pain
Oh the love
That rolled the stone away
And God stood up and God stepped down
As holy feet dug deep into the dirty ground
And God breathed out and man breathed in
He broke the bonds of death so we could live again
When words were not enough to show His love
God stood up and God stepped down
He took me in His arms spun me around
I will never understand the day
When He came to steal this heart away
But hallelujah for the day
When God stepped down
God stepped down
God stepped down
