Interpretation
The song 'Come to Jesus' by
Andrea Adams-Frey is a spiritual hymn. It reminds us that we are all filled with mistakes and weaknesses: 'Wounded, weak, a sinner'. But despite our imperfections, God invites us to come to Him: 'Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus and live.'
The lines 'Now the burden has disappeared, sunk into the deepest sea. His death has given you a new life' emphasize the faith in redemption through Jesus Christ. It is a reminder that despite all our mistakes and burdens, through Jesus' death, we can receive a new life.
The song further addresses the challenges of life and encourages us to turn to Jesus in difficult times: 'Your path is sometimes lonely, also paved with pain. Your sky black and your heart full of tears. Then cry out to Jesus, cry out to Jesus, cry out to Jesus and live.'
The lyrics remind us that it's okay to stumble and fall, as long as we get up and keep going: 'Don't be afraid to crawl, like a newborn child. Don't forget, sometimes we also fall. Then fall onto Jesus, fall onto Jesus, fall onto Jesus and live.'
Towards the end of the song, the listener is encouraged to fully enjoy life and praise God: 'When love overflows, music fills the night. Joy reveals your passion. Then dance for Jesus, dance for Jesus, dance for Jesus and live.'
At the end of the song, the listener is reminded that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life with Jesus: 'And with the last heartbeat, say goodbye. Go in peace, for He is already waiting. Fly home to Jesus, home to Jesus, fly home to Jesus and live!' This emphasizes the Christian belief in resurrection and eternal life.
