Terry MacAlmon - Even So Lyrics

“Even So” is a brief prayer centered on the promised return of Jesus. Its repeated plea, “Come Lord Jesus come,” closely follows the closing prayer of Revelation and gives the song a watchful, expectant character. The sparse language keeps attention on a single Christian hope: Christ will return, gather His people, and bring them into His presence.

The reference to the bride draws on Revelation’s picture of the church prepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Here, that image is joined to a personal longing to be with the Lord. Repetition serves as devotion rather than narrative, allowing the central petition to carry the song. The lyric does not attempt to describe a timetable or elaborate sequence of events. Instead, it expresses readiness, affection, and hope in a few direct lines. Its focus is both communal and personal: the bride awaits Christ, while the soul longs for fellowship with Him.
