We Come To Your Throne With Weeping
Jeff Deyo Lyrics

The lyrics to Jeff Deyo's song, We Come To Your Throne With Weeping, convey a sincere plea for forgiveness from a place of deep sorrow and regret. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song. The word "weeping" connotes intense feelings of sadness and despair. It is as if those singing the song have come to the realization of their sin and the consequences it has brought upon them. The next line, "We come to your throne with sorrow and shame," reinforces this idea of contrition and repentance. They have come to God's throne seeking His mercy, grace, and forgiveness for their mistakes and shortcomings.

The second stanza continues in a similar vein, now with the word "mourning" added to enhance the emotion of sadness and regret. But the focus now shifts to the heart's desire for redemption and freedom. The line "We come to you, we cry out for mercy," illustrates their desperation for God's forgiveness and mercy. This plea is followed by the acknowledgment of their wrongdoing and the need to turn away from sin, asking God for the grace to do so. The last line of the stanza, "We fall on our knees," creates a vivid image of the singers bowing down before God with hearts full of humility.

The final stanza is the culmination of the entire song, where they acknowledge that their sins have been washed away by the blood of the Lamb. They come to God's throne, not just with weeping and mourning, but also with thanksgiving, singing and shouting for joy at their newfound redemption and freedom. The song's lyrics are a powerful reminder that forgiveness and redemption are always available to those who seek them with sincere hearts.
