Jesus Comes

By William Pelrine Jr.

This is an original gospel song The Lord gave me that was intended to be a Christmas Carol. The chorus is from my favorite Psalm, Psalm 63, copyright 2013 William Pelrine, Jr. (Only the music and original lyrics are copyrighted.)

Jesus Comes (lyrics)

Verse 1:

Long ago a babe was born, Jesus is Your Name,
You would lead the gentile folk far from Satan's game,
Prophets told Your coming two thousand years before,
Many souls were healed, You they worship and adore.

Verse 2:

Scripture says that You were born, in a stable lay,
From a virgin and from God, so the angels say,
Oriental kings we're told brought frankincense and gold,
Though you were rejected, Your sheep came to Your fold.

Chorus (Psalm 63: 1b-3):
My soul it thirsts for Thee oh God, my flesh it longs for Thee,
In a dry and weary land, where no water is,
To see Thy power and glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary,
Because Thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.

Verse 3:

You're the light to all the world, You can never die,
Hypocrites would seek Your life, You they'd crucify,
God's one Son would go to hell and raise the saints of old,
You took them to Heaven, their souls they had sold.

Repeat Chorus several times (I love this Psalm. It speaks volumes to me.)
