While the World Is Burning Down

Lyrics

Verse 1
I was walking down the side,
Coffee cooling in my hand,
Headlines blaring fire and fracture,
Dreams like castles built on sand.
Every tower starts to crumble,
Every kingdom fades away,
And the ache inside reminds me
There’s a home that will not break.

Chorus
While the world is burning down,
Christ, You hold the higher ground.
Not in panic, not in fear,
Your tomorrow meets me here.
Grace has found me, mercy sings,
Hope is stronger than these flames.
Till You call me, I will stand—
Holy, waiting, in Your hand.

Verse 2
Your delay is not forgetting,
But a kindness to the lost,
Every heartbeat is a mercy,
Every moment stamped with cross.
So I live with holy longing,
Set apart, yet in the fight,
Till the dawn breaks through the ashes,
And Your glory fills my sight.

Chorus
While the world is burning down,
Christ, You hold the higher ground.
Not in panic, not in fear,
Your tomorrow meets me here.
Grace has found me, mercy sings,
Hope is stronger than these flames.
Till You call me, I will stand—
Holy, waiting, in Your hand.

Bridge
All I’ve trusted, all I’ve clung to,
Cannot bear the weight of fire.
But Your cross has stood unshaken,
Lifted me from death to life.
So I’ll grow in grace and knowledge,
Till the day You split the skies,
Every tear will be forgotten,
Every shadow crucified.

Final Chorus
While the world is burning down,
Christ, You wear the victor’s crown.
Through the chaos, You are near,
Heaven’s kingdom breaking here.
Grace has found me, mercy sings,
Hope is stronger than these flames.
Till You call me, I will stand—
Holy, waiting, in Your hand.
