When He Looked Down
There is a hill, though far away
Where I once saw my Savior's face
And though they'd nailed Him to a tree
He looked down and smiled at me
And as I watched His eyes meet mine
I felt my heart e'er reconciled
And all my years of shame released
When He looked down and smiled at me
There was no sorrow on His face
Just Love's pure light for me to taste
And I did fall down to my knees
When He looked down and smiled at me
Upon His head they shoved a crown
And o'er His brow my life ran down
Through His own blood my soul came clean
When He looked down and smiled at me
When I am lonely, fearful be
When this world's hunger shadows me
When I am wretched, wicked, weak
Then He looks down and smiles at me
He only asked that I believe
When He looked down and smiled at me
