Come to Jesus Songtext
von Adam Guettel

Dearest Matthew,
I am writing you
From the waiting room
I′m next
Doctor Mujit says,
"I'll barely feel a thing."
Ninety seconds-
There′s a vintage ad for Jell-O on the wall
Real quaint
I know you'd laugh if you were here,
In spite of everything.

Oh Matthew,
Let's not let this tear us apart.
I believe this little soul
Will cradle, cradle in Heaven
Until the day we can accept him together,
Accept him together
For you, and for me, and for the child,
I pray.


Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus, just now
Just now, come to Jesus
Come to Jesus,
Just now.
He will save you,
He will save you,
He will save you, just now.
Just now, he will save you.
He will save you, just now.
Oh, believe Him
He is able, he is willing
He′ll receive you
Flee to Jesus
Call unto Him

Dear Emily,
I write from the airport.
Going away for awhile.
I couldn′t love you like you wanted,
But I did love you,
I do.
It's just that, after what has happened,
Something′s ruined.
You feel it too,
Dying,
And I can't look anymore.


Too love is to be accompanied,
Guided by an angel.
But I′ve driven it away.
And we are alone now.
Maybe you're right,
Maybe that soul will cradle in heaven,
And will come to you one day.
For that, and for forgiveness,
I pray.

Come to Jesus, (Come to Jesus)
Come to Jesus, (Come to Jesus)
Come to Jesus, just now. (He will save you)
Just now, come to Jesus
Come to Jesus, just now (He′ll receive you)
He will hear you, (He will hear you, come)
He will hear you, (He'll have mercy, come)
Come to Jesus, just now (He'll forgive you)
All will heal (Lift you, come)
He will hear you (Come to Jesus, just now)
He′ll forgive you
He′ll forgive you
Come
