He comes to us

Christ calls still
he comes to us
his own, those who claim him
do we receive him
is our heart open
seeing our Savior
letting him in
accepting his love
or are we like the first
rejecting our Lord,
loving the world

come to his people
to give them new birth
but his own, his people
received him not
captured, convicted
got him crucified

joyful in our countenance
joyful in our walk

his own received him not, his own received him not



his own received him not,
his own received him not,
his very own received him not.
more true than we want to admit
Christ here with us; but
we are not moved, we do not believe
we do not change our walk
The light in this darkness
the light of the living God
God here, down from heaven
come to change the world;
but his own received him not
the ones he loves the most
we turned out back on the Christ
and fell in love with the world

that Christ entered the world
he came to us
we did not receive him

He came unto his own
