Sovereign cover
02. Heaven Come Down
Album: Sovereign
Artist: Michael W. Smith
         
 

OH, HEAVEN COME DOWN TONIGHT / WE WANNA SEE YOUR GLORY SHINE / BURNIN’ LIKE A FLAME, BURNIN’ LIKE A FLAME FOREVER
I am broken / Nothin’ I can do / I’m callin’ out to You / Bringin’ You a heart that’s open / Come and light a fire / Come and light a fire / In this moment / Hear me cryin’ out / I’m reachin’ for You now / Bringin’ You a heart that’s open / And broken
OH, HEAVEN COME DOWN TONIGHT / WE WANNA SEE YOUR GLORY SHINE / BURNIN’ LIKE A FLAME, BURNIN’ LIKE A FLAME FOREVER / BREAK EVERY STRONGHOLD /
SHATTER EVERY WALL SO WE CAN SEE / HEAVEN COME DOWN TONIGHT
Oh, we are broken / Here before You now / God we’re cryin’ out / Bringing You a heart that’s open / Come and light a fire / Come and light a fire / Like an ocean / Washin’ over us / Strong and glorious / Your love has spoken / And our hearts are open

Behind the Song:
This is one of my favorites on the album. I wrote it with Chris Stevens, just tinkering around in the studio and it became a really big song; massive in terms of sound. The song says, “Heaven come down tonight. We want to see your glory shine, burning like a flame forever. Break every stronghold. Shatter every wall so we can see, heaven come down tonight.” It’s a big chorus and the reaction it got on tour was amazing! - Michael W. Smith
