“Come To Jesus” Lyrics

This song came out in the spring of 2004 when I was pregnant, right about the time we found out Paul had a heart defect and would probably have other birth defects.  The first time I heard it on KFOG, I bawled - BAWLED.  I always think of him when I hear it.  I meant to have it played at Paul’s memorial service, but in the moment I forgot.  Grab a tissue — here are the lyrics.

“Come to Jesus” by Mindy Smith, album “One Moment More”, Vanguard Records 2004

Oh, my baby, when you’re older
Maybe then you’ll understand
You have angels that stand around your shoulders
‘Cause at times in life you need a loving hand

Oh, my baby, when you’re prayin’
Leave your burden by my door
You have Jesus standing by your bedside
To keep you calm, keep you safe,
Away from harm

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don’t seem worth livin’
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, my baby, when you’re cryin’
Never hide your face from me
I’ve conquered hell and driven out the demons
I have come with a life to set you free

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don’t seem worth livin’
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, my baby, when you’re dying
Believe the healing of His hand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don’t seem worth livin’
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms
