Come, Lord Jesus |
| Tonight in the line of the merchandise store |
| While they were packing up my bags |
| I saw the pictures of the prophets of the picket signs |
| Screaming, «God hates fags» |
| And it feels like the church isn’t anything more |
| Then the second coming of the Pharisees |
| Scrubbing each other 'til their tombs are white |
| They chisel epitaphs of piety |
| Oh, there’s a burning down inside of me |
| 'Cause the battle seems so lost |
| And it’s raging on so silently |
| We forget it’s being fought |
| So, Amen |
| Come, Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
| Oh, Amen |
| Come Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
| It’s taken me years in the race just to get this far |
| Still there is no end in sight |
| There’s no end in sight |
| 'Cause I’ve carried my cross into dens of the wicked |
| And you know I blended in just fine |
| Well, I’m weak and I’m weary of breaking His heart |
| With they cycle of my sin, of my sin |
| Still He turns His face to me and I kiss it |
| Just to betray Him once again |
| Well, I’ve got oceans down inside of me |
| I can feel the billows roll |
| With the mercy that comes thundering |
| O’er the waters of my soul |
| So, Amen |
| Come, Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
| Oh, Amen |
| Come, Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
| Tonight in the light of the gathering rain |
| I could hear creation groan |
| And a sigh rose up from the streets of the city |
| To the foot of Heaven’s throne |
| Oh, and the people hear the sound of a sweet refrain |
| An absolution in the fray, in the fry |
| It tells of the death of the one for the lives of the many |
| More than any picket sign could say |
| So, Amen |
| Come, Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
| Oh, Amen |
| Come, Lord Jesus |
| Amen |
