In the darkness I lay weeping
Feeling hopeless and alone
No place to run, no one to turn to
On the edge of hanging on
What faith I had was shaken
I cried out in desperation

From heaven down to earth
Like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
Into your arms like a baby I came crawling
You held me 'til I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

In your light now I am standing
Filled with hope and unafraid
From your act of tender mercy
Once again I found my way
Just when I thought my world was ending
You showed me a new beginning!

From heaven down to earth
Like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
Into your arms like a baby I came crawling
You held me 'til I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

From heaven down to earth
Like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
Into your arms like a baby I came crawling
You held me 'til I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth
