He Will Come
Shirley Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you ever called Him and it looked
Like He wasn't coming. You paid your tithes,
You did everything that was right, but yet
It looked like you stayed sick all the time.
But I come tonight to tell you He will come.
Look at somebody and tell them He will come.
You been calling on the Lord come on)
You've been calling on the lord
And it seem like he won't come
You've been crying and praying
See what the devil has done
He's taken somebody's home
And he's left them all alone
And i'm calling on you Lord
Please come
He'll come (He'll come)
He'll come (He'll come)
He'll come I know that He will
He's a God thats never too busy
He'll come, yes He will
Expect a blessing any day
The God that I serve
Is gonna make a way
Call him in the morning
Call him in the evening
And He'll come
(I know that the devil got
Some of you thinking that you're
Never coming up and out of your problems
And that your brother will always
Be in drugs. I know that somebody
Got a son thats in jail right now)
Lord what am I going to do
I don't have nobody, nobody
To pay his bail
Lord you've got to see me through
I am trying not to worry
Lord you got to get here in a hurry
Call him in the morning
Call him in the evening
And He'll come
He'll come (He'll come)
I called Him and He'll come
(He'll come)
He's a God that's never too busy
I want you to know He will come
Yes He will
Expect your blessing anyday
The Lord that I serve
Is gonna make a way
Call Him in the morning
Call Him in the evening
And He'll come
(I know there are those of you who
Feel that he won't come. But I was
Reading in the book of Hebrews, the
10th chapter and the 37th verse and
It reads: But yet a little while,
He that shall come will come and
Will not tarry, so don't give up
And don't give in. Jesus told me
To tell you that your healing is on
The way)
And He'll come (He'll come)
He'll come (He'll come)
He's a God thats never too busy
And I know He will come
Yes He will
Expect your blessing any day.
The God that I serve is gonna make a way
Call Him in the morning
Call Him in the evening
And He'll come
The song He Will Come, by Shirley Caesar, is a message of hope and encouragement to those who are facing a difficult situation and are waiting for God to act. The lyrics acknowledge the frustration and disappointment that can come when it seems like God is not answering prayers or intervening in a timely manner. The song encourages listeners to continue reaching out to God and trusting that He will come through at the right time.
The song begins with the repeated phrase "He's an on time God, yes He is," which serves as a mantra throughout the song. The singer addresses listeners who have experienced feelings of abandonment or unanswered prayers, encouraging them to continue to call on God regardless of what it looks like. The second verse gives specific examples of difficult situations, such as illness, death, and incarceration.
The lyrics also draw on biblical references to reinforce the message of hope. The singer references Hebrews 10:37, which reminds us that "he that shall come will come, and will not tarry." This is a promise that God will fulfill His promises and come through for us in the end. Overall, He Will Come is a powerful reminder to hold on to faith and trust in God, even when it feels like our prayers are not being answered.
