Nichole Nordeman's "Please Come" is a reflective Christian song about breaking down the walls that divide believers and extending God's inclusive invitation to all. The lyrics acknowledge human tendencies to draw lines around faith and judge others, but emphasize that God's love and grace are open to everyone. The song calls listeners to come to the feast, regardless of their past or background, and highlights the unity found in Christ.

Oh, the days when I drew lines around my faith
To keep you out, to keep me in, to keep it safe
Oh, the sense of my own self entitlement
To say who's wrong or won't belong or cannot stay
'Cause somebody somewhere decided
We'd be better off divided
And somehow despite the damage done
He says, "come"...
There is room enough for all of us, please come
And the arms are open wide enough, please come
And our parts are never greater than the sum
This is the heart of the One
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"
Oh, the times when I have failed to recognise
How may chairs are gathered there around the feast
To break the bread and break these boundaries
That have kept us from our only common ground
The invitation to sit down
If we will come...
There is room enough for all of us, please come
And the arms are open wide enough, please come
And our parts are never greater than the sum
This is the heart of the One
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"
Come, from the best of humanity
Come, from the depths of depravity
Come now and see how we need
Every different bead on this same string
Come...
There is room enough for all of us, please come
And the arms are open wide enough, please come
And our parts are never greater than the sum
This is the heart of the One
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"
