Originally rising to fame as lead singer in the Christian rock band, Messenger, formed in 2010, he became a favorite during the early auditions of American Idol. Dixon auditioned in the tenth season, along with his sister Schyler, at the Nashville auditions. However, neither of them ended up in the Top 24. After he was sent home, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.
Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". Both he and Schyler were awarded golden tickets. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought him to tears.
On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode". He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced into the Top 13.
Love Has Come For Me
Colton Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someday I'm gonna get it all together
Who am I fooling?
I am weak and prone to be
The me that I will always be
So what's left to do but surrender?
This is where I am
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Oh, love has come for me
I've never understood but it's amazing
The way you never let the past enslave me
How do you do it?
Love the heart, the part of me
That desperately needs a remedy
I wanna be a life you keep changing
'Cause this is where I am
And this is where you start
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Oh, love has come for me
And I'll go where You want me to be
And even though I may be broken
I can see Your love has come for me
I'm never gonna get it all together
So, what's left to do but surrender?
'Cause this is where I am
And this is where You start
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Love has come for me
Yeah, love has come for me
Love has come for me
The lyrics of Colton Dixon's song Love Has Come For Me are a stirring reflection on the power of surrender and the transformative nature of love. The first verse begins with a seemingly despondent declaration that the singer can do better, followed by a statement of confidence that they will eventually get it all together. However, this is quickly undercut with the realization that they are weak and prone to failure, leading to a sense of hopelessness. The only solution, in the end, is surrender - a recognition that the singer cannot do it all on their own.
From this place of surrender, the chorus of the song captures the moment of transformation that occurs when love comes into the picture. The singer marvels at the way that love frees them from the shackles of their past and offers a remedy for the broken parts of their heart. It is a recognition that everything they need is found in this act of surrender and the corresponding embrace of the love that has come for them. The song concludes with a final affirmation of this truth, celebrating the power of love to bring healing and change.
Overall, Love Has Come For Me is a powerful reminder of the importance of surrendering ourselves to the transformative power of love. It encourages us to let go of our own attempts to "get it all together" and instead trust in the love that is offered to us. By doing so, we can find the healing and freedom that we so desperately need.

I tell myself that I can do better
I attempt to improve myself on a regular basis
Someday I'm gonna get it all together
I believe that one day, I will have my life in perfect order
Who am I fooling?
I realize that I am not being genuine with myself
I am weak and prone to be
I admit that I possess a natural tendency to be frail
The me that I will always be
I am aware that my personality will remain consistent throughout my life
So what's left to do but surrender?
Given this realization, the only course of action is to concede
This is where I am
I acknowledge my present circumstances
And this is where You start
I understand that this is where I will begin
And everything I needed
Everything that I required
Is everything You are
Is something you already possess
Love has come for me
Love has arrived for me
I've never understood but it's amazing
Although I don't quite grasp it, it's unbelievable
The way you never let the past enslave me
You never allow my past to control me

I'm curious as to how you accomplish this feat
Love the heart, the part of me

Is everything You are
Is everything you embody

Despite the fact that I may be damaged
I can see Your love has come for me
I can detect your love that has arrived for me

Yes, love has come to me
Love has come for me
Love has arrived for me

I have been such a huge fan of yours since the day you and Schyler stepped into the audition room in season 10. It broke my heart when both of you went home that year, but seeing your sister came back was so exciting and them you auditioning again as well! I still believe that you should have made it farther last year but i guess in the end God just has his ways. Love this song and the album, please never stop making music and never ever be ashamed in your love for God because it's amazing. <3
