Come In From The Outside
Israel Houghton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be ashamed
Come in from the outside
And bless His name
It's all on the inside
Where His glory reigns
Enter in
Just as you are
Come in from the outside
You're not too far
It's all on the inside
Simply open your heart
Enter in
[Chorus:]
Everybody everybody
Everybody everybody
Everybody everybody
Let everything that hath breath
Praise the Lord
Everybody everybody
Praise
We're the generation
That will give You praise and adoration
Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
Establish now Your throne, oh my Lord
O my Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Praise You Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
We love You Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
O my Lord
[Chorus]
Israel Houghton's song "Come In From The Outside" is a call to those who feel like they are on the outside to come in and experience the glory of God. The song encourages people to let go of their shame and simply open their hearts to God. The lyrics remind us that God's presence is not found outside of ourselves, but within us. We simply need to enter in and allow His glory to reign in our lives.
The chorus of "Everybody everybody, let everything that hath breath praise the Lord" reinforces the message that this invitation is open to everyone. It is not just for a select few who have already "made it". Houghton is saying that no matter who you are, what you've done or where you've been, you can come in and experience God's presence.
Interestingly, the song also has a message about the role of this generation. The lyrics state, "We're the generation that will give you praise and adoration. Let your kingdom come, let your will be done." This suggests that Houghton sees this generation as having a special responsibility to usher in the presence of God on the earth.
Overall, "Come In From The Outside" is a beautiful invitation to experience the glory of God that exists within us all. It is a reminder that we need to let go of our shame and simply open our hearts to God.

Dear Lord, bless me to be forgiven. Bless me to walk in forgiveness. Don't let people harbor any unforgiveness in thier hearts towards me. So I can experience freedom. Forgive me all over the world. I asked that I am forgiven in California whoever I harmed so I can walk in freedom.
