Song Lyrics: Come to Jesus by Mindy Smith

I'm not known for being uber religious.  My beliefs have morphed over the years and become so eclectic that I wouldn't even be able to qualify as a card carrying Christian.  That doesn't mean I'm not still moved by Christian iconry (is that a word?), and often my spiritual vision is that of the religion of my upbringing.

For example, I love love love, Michelangelo's La Pieta (The marble statue of the virgin Mary cradling the recently dead Jesus).  It is amazingly moving to me.  Notice how Mary is larger than Jesus.  That's how I see a mother's love.  And she's strong enough to handle whatever she must.  That speaks to me.  In some of my darker times, that image morphed...it became a broken me, lying limp in the lap of Jesus.  When that's all I could do.  So I put this image here to go with the lyrics of this song which I also find moving.

MINDY SMITH LYRICS

"Come To Jesus"

Oh, my baby, when you're older
Maybe then you'll understand
You have angels to dance around you 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
