Adam Guettel - Come to Jesus lyrics

(Recitative 1) [EMILY] Dearest Matthew, I am writing you from the waiting room. I'm next. Doctor Mujit says I'll barely feel a thing, ninety seconds. There's a vintage ad for Jell-O on the wall. Real quaint. I know we'd laugh if you were here in spite of everything. Oh, Matthew, let's not let this tear us apart. I believe this little soul will cradle; cradle in Heaven until the day we can accept him together. Together. For you and for me and for the child, I pray (Chorus 1) [EMILY] Come to Jesus Come to Jesus Come to Jesus just now Just now come to Jesus Come to Jesus just now He will save you He will save you He will save you just now Just now He will save you He will save you just now Oh, believe Him He is able He is willing He'll receive you Flee to Jesus Call unto Him (Recitative 2) [MATTHEW] Dear Emily, I write from the airport. Going away for a while. I couldn't love you like you wanted, but I did love you. I do. It's just that after what has happened something's ruined. You feel it too, dying, and I can't look anymore. To love is to be accompanied, guided by an angel. But I've driven it away. And we are alone now. Maybe you're right. Maybe that soul will cradle in Heaven, and will come to you one day. For that and for forgiveness I pray (Chorus 2) [EMILY] Come to Jesus Come to Jesus He will save you Oh believe him He is able He'll receive you He will hear you Come He'll forgive you He will cleanse you Come Come to Jesus just now Oh Just now come to Jesus He'll renew you Come to Jesus just now He'll forgive you [MATTHEW] Come to Jesus Come to Jesus Come to Jesus just now Just now come to Jesus Come to Jesus just now He'll receive you He will hear you Come He will hear you He will cleanse you Come Come to Jesus just now Oh Oh, believe him He'll renew you He'll forgive you He'll forgive you
