WHEN SHALL HEAVEN COME DOWN?
Is there a God here—
In a land fractured by despair
Where hatred is embraced as a brother?
God is merciful—
Yet how could a God of grace
Dwell in a kingdom of malice?
We all ask
When shall heaven come
To transform our town?
We long for the day
Light will pierce this darkness
And love to overcome hatred.
When heaven shall come down
When will angels tread upon this soil
And finally offers our hearts solace?
When will we see that light
When will we see His face—
His gracious and merciful face?
When, when, when shall heaven come?
