Steffany Gretzinger - Come To Jesus Lyrics
Lyrics
Are you weary from a life of sin?
Are you heavy from the guilt within?
Only One can make the burden lift
And Jesus is His name
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
He is calling to you
He will save you
He will heal you
He will make all things new
Come to Jesus
Are you lonely walking on your own?
Are you desperate for a ray of hope?
There is One who sees you, One who knows
And Jesus is His name
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
He is calling to you
He will save you
He will heal you
He will make all things new
Come to Jesus
And when at last
Your days have passed
Your soul will rest in glory
And the shadow lands of sorrow end
There's only light in glory
And when at last
Your days have passed
Your soul will rest in glory
And the shadow lands of sorrow end
There's only light in glory
In glory
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
He is calling to you
He will save you
He will heal you
He will make all things new
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?

Meaning & Inspiration
Steffany Gretzinger's "Come to Jesus," released as part of her 2023 album *The Narrow Way*, is a profound invitation that resonates with the core of the Gospel message. From its initial release, the song immediately centers on the weary soul, acknowledging the weight of sin and the burden of guilt that can plague our lives. Gretzinger’s vocal delivery, though not the focus of this analysis, effectively carries the palpable sense of empathy as she articulates a universal human struggle. The lyrics directly address the longing for relief and liberation, positing Jesus as the singular solution, the one whose name holds the power to lift these heavy loads. This echoes the promise found in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus Himself says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." The repeated refrain, "Come to Jesus," is not merely a suggestion but a divine call, a reflection of the persistent drawing of God mentioned throughout Scripture, such as in John 6:44: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them." The song emphasizes the salvific and restorative power offered, promising salvation and healing, and the profound transformation that results in everything becoming new, directly aligning with 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Beyond the immediate solace from sin, "Come to Jesus" also speaks to the deep-seated human need for connection and hope, recognizing the loneliness and desperation that can arise when walking through life alone. It highlights the comforting truth that there is someone who sees us, understands us, and knows our hearts intimately. This is a powerful affirmation of God's omniscience and His personal regard for each individual, as David declared in Psalm 139:1-4: "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar... Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely." The certainty that Jesus knows our struggles is a cornerstone of faith, providing a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. The song beautifully transitions into the eternal perspective, painting a picture of ultimate rest and glory after our earthly days conclude. It offers a vision of solace where sorrow ceases and only light remains, a heavenly peace that transcends present suffering. This vision of everlasting joy and absence of pain is vividly described in Revelation 21:4: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." The concluding questions, "Isn't it time?" serve as a poignant and direct appeal, urging immediate surrender and acceptance of the grace so freely offered, reinforcing the urgency and availability of God's saving love.
