Like many of the laments of Jeremiah, this is a mixture of questions, frustration, anger, trust and hope. Chad gives a beautiful and encouraging meditation on this gripping passage. Rachel Hall sings "You Came Down".

Lyrics for "You Came Down"
Rivers of tears
Run down my cheeks
Rivers of tears
Flow without ceasing,
Waters rising
Over my head
My legs are dead
And I am sinking
Do I cry in vain
"I called on your name"
Do I cry in vain
from the depths of despair
Can You hear me, can you hear my prayer
Will You crush me in my pain?
Do I hope in vain?
Chorus:
You came (Down!)down to me
you heard my cry,
'Do not close your ear"
You came (Down!) down to me
Saying, 'Do not fear!'
You came down to me
And You drew near
"You've taken up my cause,
O Lord; You saved my life
Even on this day
You are making it right
You repay the evil one
Who does not care for truth
You destroy the wicked
Who slays the righteous in their youth
