Come, Lord Jesus
Come, Lord Jesus begins in the dark, where God’s people have always waited. Advent is the long hush before the promise: a priest struck silent, a carpenter choosing obedience over his good name, a young mother saying yes, and a world with no room to spare. Then the fullness of time arrives. The Word becomes flesh, Immanuel comes near, and the first to hear are shepherds on the night shift and strangers following a star from far away, because this King came for everyone who will come to Him.
But the manger was never the end of the story. An old man holds the Child and sees salvation, and the cradle already points to a cross, where Jesus gave His life as a ransom and then walked out of the tomb. So the album ends where the Bible ends, looking forward and not only back. Christ has come, Christ is risen, and Christ is coming again. Until He does, we wait with the church’s oldest prayer: Come, Lord Jesus.
