Come On
Joshua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satanโ€™s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory oโ€™er the grave
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinaiโ€™s height
In ancient times didst give the Law
In cloud, and majesty and awe
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel




Shall come to thee, O Israel
He has come to Thee, O Israel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joshua's song "Come On" are actually taken from the famous Christmas carol, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." The song begins with a plea for Emmanuel, which is a Hebrew word meaning "God is with us." The singer is calling on Emmanuel to come and free the captive nation of Israel. The Israelites were in exile, longing for their Messiah to come and rescue them from their oppression. The singer is placing their hope in Emmanuel, believing that he will come and save them.


The second verse asks for the "Rod of Jesse" to come and free Israel from Satan's tyranny. Jesse was the father of David, who was promised a descendant that would rule over Israel forever. The singer is calling on this promised descendant to come and defeat Satan, to free Israel from their bondage to sin and death.


The third verse asks for the Key of David to come and open the way to heaven. This is a reference to Isaiah 22:22 where it says that the Key of David will open doors that no one can shut. The singer is asking for the way to be made safe so that they can enter into their heavenly home. They want the path to be closed to misery, so that they only experience joy and peace.


The final verse calls on the Lord of Might, who gave the Law to the tribes of Israel on the mountain of Sinai. The singer is acknowledging God's power and might, and asking for Him to come and bring His people into His kingdom. They are putting their trust in the Lord to fulfill His promises to His people.


Overall, "Come On" is a song of longing and hope, calling on God to come and fulfill His promises to His people. It is a reminder that no matter how dark our current situation may be, we can always hope in God's promises and trust that He will come to our rescue.
