Lyrics
All of creation
All of the earth
Make straight a highway
A path for the Lord
Jesus is coming soon
Call back the sinner
Wake up the saint
Let every nation
Shout of Your fame
Jesus is coming soon
Like a bride
Waiting for her groom
We'll be a church
Ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus come
There will be justice
All will be new
Your name forever
Faithful and true
Jesus is coming soon
Like a bride
Waiting for her groom
We'll be a church
Ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus come
So we wait
We wait for You
God we wait
You're coming soon

Even so come
Lord Jesus come
Even so come
Lord Jesus come
Even so come
Lord Jesus come
(God we wait, we wait for You
We wait Your coming soon) .....4X

Passion ft. Kristian Stanfill - Even So Come (Live)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Even So Come" by Passion featuring Kristian Stanfill, released on May 12, 2015, is a powerful declaration of faith rooted in the anticipation of Christ's return. The song masterfully calls creation and humanity to prepare for the Lord's advent, echoing the biblical imperative found in Isaiah 40:3, which speaks of making a highway for God in the desert. The lyrics urge a dual action: drawing back those who have strayed and awakening the faithful, so that every nation might proclaim God's glory, aligning with the Great Commission's vision of global evangelism as described in Matthew 28:19-20. The central metaphor of the church as a bride eagerly awaiting her groom is a profound representation of our longing for Christ, drawing directly from passages like Ephesians 5:25-27, where Christ is depicted as cleansing and sanctifying His church to present it to Himself as a radiant bride. This longing is not passive; it's an active anticipation, a state of readiness and devotion as God's people prepare for their King. The song boldly proclaims a future filled with justice and renewal, where God's faithfulness and truth reign eternally, reminiscent of prophecies concerning God's ultimate kingdom where all things are made new, as seen in Revelation 21:1-4. The repeated invitation, "Even so come, Lord Jesus come," is a direct echo of the closing prayer in the New Testament, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" found in Revelation 22:20, encapsulating the consistent hope and prayer of believers throughout history. The repeated phrases of waiting and anticipation throughout the song underscore a posture of dependence and fervent expectation, reflecting the biblical emphasis on perseverance and hope in the midst of present circumstances while looking forward to the consummation of God's plan. This track is more than just a song; it's a theological statement and a corporate prayer, encouraging a community of believers to live in active readiness and unwavering hope for the glorious return of Jesus.
