This year’s 12 Song challenge is up and running, and I forgot to do a post about it at the start of January, so apologies for that.
The theme was gathering songs, in terms of gathering as the people of God and also gathering in the harvest of God’s kingdom. I went for the former and here is the result. You can listen to it here.
Come, Come as you are
Richard Stringer 2024
A section:
Come, come as you are
Instead of your sorrow
He’ll give you joy.
Come, come as you are
Receive His forgiveness
The price has been paid
B section:
By the blood of Jesus, we can see him face-to-face
To receive his mercy, to receive his grace.
And as we draw near to God
he’ll draw near to us
So come, [A] Come as you are
A Section 2:
Come, come as you are,
The weary and worn-out,
Come rest in his arms.
Come, come as you are,
The world and its heartache,
Were conquered by him.
A Section 3:
Come, come as you are
You are invited
His feast is prepared
Come, come as you are
Your table is waiting
So come as you are.
