So Come
Israel Houghton and New Breed's "So Come" is a worship song that celebrates God's redemptive power and anticipates His move. The lyrics reflect on how God transforms the worthless into the precious, gives beauty for ashes, and chooses the weak to shame the strong. The song also expresses a longing for the fulfillment of God's promises, when His glory will fill the earth and the outcast will be turned into praise. It invites listeners to come to God, who offers help to the helpless and welcomes the thirsty and the poor. The overall message is one of hope, surrender, and eager expectation for God's kingdom to come.
You have taken the precious from the worthless
And given us beauty for ashes, love for hate
You have chosen the weak things of the world
To shame that which is strong
And the foolish things to shame the wise
You are help to the helpless
Strength to the stranger
And a father to the child that's left alone
You invited the thirsty to come to the water
And those who have no money come and buy
So come
Come, so come
Behold the days are coming
For the Lord has promised
When the plow man will overtake the reaper
And our hearts will be the threshing floor
And the move of God we cried out for will come
Surely come, oh God
And you will shake the heavens and fill your house with glory
Turn the shame of the outcast into praise
Now all creation groans and waits for the Spirit and Bride
To say the words that your heart has longed to hear
So come
Come, so come
