Come to Him Now

A long time ago, on a long dark night,

Jesus knelt and prayed in the moon’s waning light.

While the apostles slept, they had not a clue,

Still he prayed on, for them, me and you.

He sits on His throne, with tears in his eyes,

Waiting for those who will not deny

Each knee will bow, Each tongue will confess,

Jesus my Savior demands nothing less.

Beaten and scorned He stood in the gate,

The trial was on by a world full of hate,

He spoke not a word, though it meant his life,

Because of the love He refused to deny.

The cross that he bore was heavy and high,

They stood there below with scorn in their eyes.

As they hung Him there, with hearts that refused,

He prayed Father forgive them, they know not what they do.

Now someday soon his return is near,

He’s coming as King, and His intent is clear

That’s why the day no delay will allow,

That’s why I say, Come to him now
