Brian And Jenn Johnson - Come To Me Lyrics
Lyrics
I am the Lord your God,
I go before you now.
I stand beside you
I'm all around you
And though you feel I'm far away
I'm closer than your breath
I am with you
More than you know
I am the Lord your peace
No evil will conquer you
Steady now your heart and mind
Come into my rest
And oh, let your faith arise
And lift up your weary head
I am with you
Wherever you go
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm everything
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves
And I am your steadfast, so don't be afraid
Though your heart and flesh may fail you
I'm your faithful strength
And I am with you
Wherever you go
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
Don't look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on me
You will not be shaken, you will not be moved
Ohhhh
I am the hand to hold, I am the truth, I am the way
Heyyyy
Just come to me, come to me
Cause I'm all that you need

Come To Me (LIVE) - Jenn Johnson | You Make Me Brave
Meaning & Inspiration
Brian and Jenn Johnson’s powerful anthem, “Come to Me (LIVE) – Jenn Johnson | You Make Me Brave,” released on April 25, 2014, stands as a profound invitation into the presence and provision of God. At its core, the song is a direct and unvarnished proclamation of divine intimacy and unwavering support, offering a sanctuary of peace and strength to all who will accept the call. The lyrics bypass sentimentality, instead drawing directly from the foundational promises of Scripture, echoing the voice of God Himself assuring His people of His constant, encompassing presence. This is not a song about feelings or fleeting emotions; it's a declaration of spiritual reality, reminding listeners that God is not a distant observer but an active participant in their lives, “closer than your breath” and “more than you know.”
The narrative thread woven throughout “Come to Me” is one of spiritual refuge and divine sufficiency. It directly addresses the anxieties and fears that plague the human heart, promising an end to the turmoil through surrendering to God's peace. The scripture behind this assurance is rich, recalling God’s declaration in Isaiah 41:10: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” The song’s repeated refrain, “Come to me, I’m all you need, I’m your everything,” is a direct echo of Christ’s own words in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This invitation extends beyond mere relief; it speaks to a complete replenishment found solely in Him, fulfilling the ancient promise in Psalm 16:11 that in God’s presence is “fullness of joy” and at His right hand are “pleasures forevermore.”
The lyrical imagery powerfully conveys God’s steadfastness and reliability, painting Him as an anchor amidst life's storms, a concept deeply rooted in Hebrews 6:19, which describes hope as an “anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” This metaphor is crucial, as it acknowledges the tumultuous nature of life—the “wind and the waves”—while simultaneously asserting God’s immovable strength. The assurance that “You will not be shaken, you will not be moved” finds its spiritual counterpart in Psalm 121:3, where it is promised that the Lord will not let your “foot slip.” The song further emphasizes God as the ultimate guide and truth, echoing Jesus’ declaration in John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This comprehensive portrayal leaves no room for doubt: God is not just a part of the solution, but the entirety of it, the source of peace, strength, and ultimate fulfillment. Brian and Jenn Johnson have crafted a musical testament that serves as both a gentle invitation and a powerful reminder of the boundless, unwavering grace available to all who choose to turn their gaze towards the Lord.
