Jesus, I Come

Description

While most Christians of the "reformed" persuation (theologically) do not believe that today's invitations/altar calls are a biblical way to call sinners to faith in Christ, God does, in His word, invite sinners to repent and believe. Jesus says "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28). This song expresses the desire of our heart - to come to Him - both when God drew us to Himself, and now as we seek to follow Him.

Lyrics

Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into Your freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of my sickness into Your health,
Out of my want and into Your wealth,
Out of my sin and into Yourself,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come to You!

Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the glorious gain of Your cross,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of earth's sorrows into Your balm,
Out of life's storm and into Your calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come to You!

Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into Your perfect will to abide,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of myself to dwell in Your love,
Out of despair to raptures above,
Upward I fly on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come to You!

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the joy and light of Your home,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Your loving fold,
Ever Your gracious face to behold,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come to You!
