Lyrics
Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray
Come Jesus come
Let today be the day
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna break
But I'm holding on
To a hope that won't fade
Come Jesus come
We've been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need You right now
Come and turn this around
Deep down I know
This world isn't home
Come Jesus come
There'll be no war
And there'll be no chains
When Jesus comes
Let today be the day
He'll come for the weak
And the strong just the same
And all will believe
In the power of His name
Come Jesus come
We've been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need You right now
Come and turn this around (turn this around)
Deep down I know
This world isn't home
Come Jesus come
Come Jesus come
One day He'll come
And we'll stand face to face
Come and lay it all down
Cause it might be today
The time is right now
There's no need to wait
Your past will be wash by rivers of grace
Come Jesus come
We've been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need You right now
Come and turn this around (turn this around)
Deep down I know
This world isn't home
Come Jesus come
Come Jesus come
Come Jesus come

Meaning & Inspiration
CeCe Winans’ More Than This dropped in April 2024, and “Come Jesus Come” is straight-up eschatological longing—not a metaphor, not a mood. It’s a cry for the Second Coming.
She doesn’t spiritualize suffering away. “Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna break” sits right next to “holding on to a hope that won’t fade.” That tension is honest. Christians aren’t supposed to pretend the world isn’t broken. The song lets you ache while trusting.
The chorus echoes Revelation 22:20—“Come, Lord Jesus”—but it grounds the plea in real pain: war, chains, hurt, wrong. This isn’t escapism. It’s a conviction that only His return will set things right. “This world isn’t home” isn’t dismissive; it’s biblical. Paul says we groan for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies (Romans 8:23).
And then the bridge shifts. “One day He’ll come and we’ll stand face to face.” No more waiting. “Your past will be washed by rivers of grace.” That’s the gospel—not just future healing, but present forgiveness. The song holds both: the ache of now and the assurance of then.
