Come on
The Rend Collective Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me steadfast, make me rooted
A cedar planted firm, deeply grounded in Your goodness
Whatever comes
Lord, whatever comes
Be my bedrock, keep me steady
Loyal to Your throne, whatever stands against me
Be my bravery when I am trembling
Be my courage when my heart is caving in
Be the fireside when I am wandering
Be my Father, whatever comes
Lord, whatever comes
Be my soul, be strong as iron
Bending only when, when I kneel before the "I Am"
Whatever comes
Be my bravery when I am trembling
Be my courage when my heart is caving in
Be the fireside when I am wandering
Be my Father, whatever comes
Whatever comes, oh
Be my bravery when I am trembling
Be my courage when my heart is caving in
Be the fireside when I am wandering
Be my Father, whatever comes
Whatever comes
The lyrics to The Rend Collective's song "Come On" convey a message of trust and surrender to God in the face of life's uncertainties. The opening lines, "Lord, whatever comes, make me steadfast, make me rooted, a cedar planted firm, deeply grounded in Your goodness," speak of a desire to be unwavering in one's faith regardless of the circumstances. The reference to being "deeply grounded in [God's] goodness" suggests that the singer is not just asking for strength to endure, but also for a deeper understanding of God's character and purposes.
The second verse continues with a plea for God to be the "bedrock" and "loyal" support that the singer needs, even in the face of opposition. The repetition of the phrase "whatever comes" emphasizes the singer's recognition that life is unpredictable and there are no guarantees of safety or security. The chorus brings the focus back to the personal level, with specific requests for God to be present in moments of fear, weakness, and doubt. There is a sense of intimacy in the image of God as a comforting "fireside" and a protective "Father."
The final verse adds a layer of metaphorical meaning by describing the desired state of the singer's soul - "strong as iron, bending only when I kneel before the 'I Am.'" This suggests a humility and submission to God's will, but also a resilience and durability that come from being grounded in truth. The song's overall message is one of faith, trust, and surrender to a loving God who is the ultimate source of strength and comfort in times of trial.
