Come On In Child

V6

[Intro - Spoken, Elder Female Voice, Soft Organ] Mmm... yes, Lord. You know, sometimes life will have you standing outside a door you don't believe you're worthy to walk through. But somebody needs to hear me today. That door ain't locked. And you ain't got to explain where you've been. Come on in, child. Come on in. [Verse 1 - Deep Female Alto Lead] You've been walking such a long, long road, Carrying burdens nobody knows. Smiling outside while you're crying within, Wondering where you can begin again. You've been searching for a little peace, Somewhere your troubled mind can cease. I heard a voice calling soft and low, Saying, "There's a place where you can go." [Choir - Warm Four-Part Harmony] Come on in, child! (Come on in!) You can lay your burdens down! (Lay 'em down!) There's a place for your weary soul, Where grace and mercy can be found! [Verse 2 - Lead, Building Emotion] You don't have to wear your Sunday best, You don't have to pass nobody's test. Bring your questions, bring your fears, Bring the pain of a thousand years. There's no shame in needing rest, No disgrace in feeling pressed. If all you've got is a whispered prayer, Grace is waiting for you there. [Chorus - Full Mass Choir] Come on in, child! (COME ON IN!) There's a place for you! (YES, THERE IS!) Come on in, child! (COME ON IN!) Let His love carry you through! (CARRY YOU THROUGH!) No more standing in the doorway, No more waiting in the rain! Come on in, child! (COME ON IN!) You can start again! [Bridge - Lead Testimony, Choir Responses] LEAD: If you've been broken... CHOIR: Come on in! LEAD: If you've been forgotten... CHOIR: Come on in! LEAD: If you've been rejected... CHOIR: Come on in! LEAD: If your heart's been wounded... CHOIR: Come on in! LEAD: There's room for the mother! CHOIR: There's room! LEAD: There's room for the father! CHOIR: There's room! LEAD: There's room for the stranger! CHOIR: There's room! LEAD: There's room for EVERYBODY! CHOIR: THERE'S ROOM! [Instrumental Break - Hammond B3 Organ, Piano, Live Drums, Tambourine] [Vamp - Mass Choir, Building Intensity] Come on in! (COME ON IN!) Come on in! (COME ON IN!) You are welcome! (WELCOME HERE!) You are loved! (WELCOME HERE!) [Lead Ad-Libs Over Choir] Don't you stand outside another minute! There's peace in this house! There's joy in this house! There's healing in this house! And there's room for YOU! [Key Change - Full Choir] THERE'S ROOM! (THERE'S ROOM!) THERE'S GRACE! (THERE'S GRACE!) THERE'S LOVE! (THERE'S LOVE!) IN THIS PLACE! (IN THIS PLACE!) [Final Refrain - Slowing Down] Come on in, child... Come on in... You can rest your weary soul... Come on in... [Outro - Elder Female Voice, Spoken] That's it, baby. You're home now. Rest awhile. [Soft Choir] Amen... Amen... Amen...
