Andrew Peterson - Come, Lord Jesus lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - Come, Lord Jesus lyrics]
Tonight in the line of the merchandise store
While they were packing up my bags
I saw the pictures of the
Prophets of the picket signs
Screaming, "God hates fags"
And it feels like the
Church isn't anything more
Then the second coming of the Pharisees, yeah
Scrubbing each other 'til their
Tombs are white
They chisel epitaphs of piety
Oh, well there's a burning down inside of me
'Cause the battle seems so lost
And it's raging on so silently
We forget it's being fought
So, amen come, Lord Jesus
Amen oh, amen
Come Lord Jesus amen
It's taken me years in the race
Just to get this far
Still there is no end in sight
There's no end in sight
'Cause, I've carried my cross into
Dens of the wicked
You know I blended in just fine
Well, I'm weak and I'm weary
Of breaking His heart
With the cycle of my sin, of my sin
Still He turns His face to me and I kiss it
Just to betray Him once again
Well, I've got oceans down inside of me
I can feel the billows roll
With the mercy that comes thundering
O'er the waters of my soul
So I say amen come, Lord Jesus
Amen oh, amen
So come, Lord Jesus amen
Tonight in the light of the gathering rain
I could hear creation groan
And a sigh rose up from
The streets of the city
To the foot of Heaven's throne
Oh, and the people hear the
Sound of a sweet refrain
An absolution in the fray, in the fray
It tells of the death of the One
For the lives of the many
More than any picket sign could say
So, amen come, Lord Jesus
Amen oh, amen
So come, Lord Jesus amen
Oh, amen
(Tonight in the light of the gathering rain)
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen, please, come Lord Jesus oh, amen
(Sigh rose up from the streets of the city)
Come, Lord Jesus amen
While they were packing up my bags
I saw the pictures of the
Prophets of the picket signs
Screaming, "God hates fags"
And it feels like the
Church isn't anything more
Then the second coming of the Pharisees, yeah
Scrubbing each other 'til their
Tombs are white
They chisel epitaphs of piety
Oh, well there's a burning down inside of me
'Cause the battle seems so lost
And it's raging on so silently
We forget it's being fought
So, amen come, Lord Jesus
Amen oh, amen
Come Lord Jesus amen
It's taken me years in the race
Just to get this far
Still there is no end in sight
There's no end in sight
'Cause, I've carried my cross into
Dens of the wicked
You know I blended in just fine
Well, I'm weak and I'm weary
Of breaking His heart
With the cycle of my sin, of my sin
Still He turns His face to me and I kiss it
Just to betray Him once again
Well, I've got oceans down inside of me

Come, Lord Jesus
Amen, please, come Lord Jesus oh, amen
(Sigh rose up from the streets of the city)
Come, Lord Jesus amen
