Come to Jesus Lyrics

(Recitative 1)
[EMILY]
Dearest Matthew, I am writing you from the waiting room. I'm next. Doctor Mujit says I'll barely feel a thing, ninety seconds. There's a vintage ad for Jell-O on the wall. Real quaint. I know we'd laugh if you were here in spite of everything. Oh, Matthew, let's not let this tear us apart. I believe this little soul will cradle; cradle in Heaven until the day we can accept him together. Together. For you and for me and for the child, I pray

(Chorus 1)
[EMILY]
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
Just now come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now

He will save you
He will save you
He will save you just now
Just now He will save you
He will save you just now

Oh, believe Him
He is able
He is willing
He'll receive you
Flee to Jesus
Call unto Him

(Recitative 2)
[MATTHEW]
Dear Emily, I write from the airport. Going away for a while. I couldn't love you like you wanted, but I did love you. I do. It's just that after what has happened something's ruined. You feel it too, dying, and I can't look anymore. To love is to be accompanied, guided by an angel. But I've driven it away. And we are alone now. Maybe you're right. Maybe that soul will cradle in Heaven, and will come to you one day. For that and for forgiveness I pray

(Chorus 2)
[EMILY]
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
He will save you
Oh believe him
He is able
He'll receive you
He will hear you
Come
He'll forgive you
He will cleanse you
Come
Come to Jesus just now
Oh
Just now come to Jesus
He'll renew you
Come to Jesus just now
He'll forgive you

[MATTHEW]
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
Just now come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
He'll receive you
He will hear you
Come
He will hear you
He will cleanse you
Come
Come to Jesus just now
Oh
Oh, believe him
He'll renew you
He'll forgive you
He'll forgive you
