Down from His Glory
\nEver living story,
\nMy God and Savior came,
\nAnd Jesus was His Name.
\nBorn in a manger,
\nTo His own a stranger,
\nA Man of sorrows, tears and agony.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nO how I love Him! How I adore Him!<\/strong>
\nMy breath, my sunshine, my all in all.<\/strong>
\nThe great Creator became my Savior,<\/strong>
\nAnd all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 What condescension,
\nBringing us redemption;
\nThat in the dead of night,
\nNot one faint hope in sight,
\nGod, gracious, tender,
\nLaid aside His splendor,
\nStooping to woo, to win, to save my soul<\/p>\n

\"Estonia-Nature<\/p>\n

3. Without reluctance,
\nFlesh and blood His substance,
\nHe took the form of man,
\nRevealed the hidden plan,
\nO glorious myst’ry
\nSacrifice of Calv’ry,
\nAnd now I know Thou art the great ‘I Am’<\/strong><\/p>\n

How great is our God? How wonderful is His creation? Why did He forsake all the glory and wealth of His Father, and come down to save such an unworthy person as I? I don’t love Him enough. I don’t thank and praise Him enough.\u00a0 God was so gracious and loved us so much that He sent us His Son, as a babe to this earth.<\/p>\n

And now we can know that Jesus is the Great I AM. This song gives me the goosebumps every time I sing it. He is worthy of all our love and adoration. Let’s make sure we are a living story of Christ and His love for us! He wants us to return our love to Him by obeying Him, serving others and living a life that is pleasing in His sight. Help me Lord, to be all you want me to be.<\/p>\n

O how I love Him, and how I adore Him.<\/p>\n
