Come In
Rita Springer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in the fire
As they burn away I see you
All of my sin, all of my ache
My spirit moves, my heart awake
You stand and knock
I turn the key
In everything, in all I sing
In every way, in all I say
All that it cost, I count it a loss
To see you
I stand undone, and I'm amazed
My heart to give, all you to gain
I'm open wide, walk on inside
Come in
In everything, in all I sing
In every way, in all I say
All that it's cost, I count it a loss
Just to see you
With every turn, with every breath
With all my life, and thankfulness
My heart your home, call me your own
You open up the sky
Open up the sky and come down
Open up the sky
Open up the sky and come
Open up the sky and come in
Open up the sky and come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in, come in,
Come in
My Jesus come in
Jesus come in, come in, come in
My Jesus come in
My Jesus come in
Open up the sky
Oh won't you come in
My Jesus come in
My Jesus come in
This song by Rita Springer is a beautiful prayer that seeks the presence of God in one's life. The opening lines refer to the things that the singer has lost in the fire. This could refer to material possessions, but it could also refer to the emotional and spiritual burdens that she carries. Despite these losses, she finds comfort in the fact that God is with her and that she can see Him more clearly as everything else fades away. The next few lines speak of the singer's repentance and surrender to God. She acknowledges her sin and her pain, and she allows her heart to be awakened by God's love. She then invites God to come in, and this could mean that she is asking Him to enter her heart or to enter her life in a more profound way. The chorus repeats the idea of inviting God in and giving Him everything, even at the cost of losing worldly things. She wants God to be a part of everything she sings, says, and does. She also wants Him to make Himself at home in her heart and to call her His own. The bridge then describes the singer's desire for God to come down from the sky and to enter her life. She repeats the phrase "Come in" multiple times, as if to emphasize the importance of this request. The song ends with the singer pleading with Jesus to come in and make Himself at home in her heart.
