Story behind the song
Stephen McWhirter's song "Come Jesus Come" was inspired by a passage in the Bible and a longing to worship God more deeply.
Inspiration
McWhirter read the book of Revelation and was inspired by Revelation 22:17, which says, "The spirit and the bride say, 'Come'".
He interpreted "the spirit" as God and "the bride" as people crying out for Christ's return. He wanted to join in with God's longing for Jesus to return.
Writing the song: McWhirter wrote the song with Brian Fowler and Hank Bentley.
He says he wasn't trying to write a hit song, but rather to join in with what God was longing for.

Lyrics
Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray
Come Jesus come, let today be the day
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna break
But I'm holding on to a hope that won't fade
Come Jesus come, We've been waiting so long
For the day You return to heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need You right now, Come and turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn't home
Come Jesus come, Come Jesus come
There'll be no war and there'll be no chains
When Jesus comes, let today be the day
He'll come for the weak and the strong just the same
And all will believe in the power of His name
Come Jesus come, We've been waiting so long
For the day You return to heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need you right now, Come and turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn't home
Come Jesus come, Come Jesus come
One day He'll come, and we'll stand face to face
Come and lay it all down, 'cause it might be today
The time is right now, there's no need to wait
Your past will be washed by rivers of grace
Come Jesus come, We've been waiting so long
For the day You return to heal every hurt
And right every wrong
We need you right now, come and turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn't home
Come Jesus come, Come Jesus come
Come Jesus come, Come Jesus come
