A few words from jade

 

Look above, lift your eyes, see the cross of Jesus Christ.” This song serves as a reminder to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, looking beyond our immediate circumstances. It originated at an Emerging Sound camp, in a beginners songwriting lab that I co-taught. It feels just as special today as the day it was written.

The line, “come on home” has always resonated with me as a simple invitation—from God and His church—to return to our true home, found only in the Lord, the One who created us and longs to be with us. This song beautifully captures who the Lord is for us. As Psalm 103 reminds us, we should “forget not His benefits.” In Jesus, we find peace, freedom, help, and joy.

I pray that this song encourages you to look above, remember who the Lord is, and that those who hear it may come home and come to life in Him.

come to life lyrics

Verse 1
There is peace in your trouble
There is help for your need
There is hope in every moment
There is a Friend who will not leave


Verse 2
There’s a hand who will hold you
There’s a light that can guide.
There’s a joy that covers sorrows
There’s a power when you can’t fight

Chorus 1
Look above, Lift your eyes
See the cross of Jesus Christ!
There His love was opened wide!
Come on home, come on home, come to life!

He is freedom for the captives
He’s the price we could not pay
He has made the way to Heaven
He has overcome the grave!


Chorus 2
Look above lift your eyes
See the cross of Jesus Christ!
There His love was opened wide!
Come on home, come on home
Come to life!

Leave your burdens, leave your fear!
Come to Jesus, no more waiting!
Grace and mercy meet you here!

Leave your burdens, leave your fear!
Come to Jesus, no more waiting!
Grace and mercy meet you here!
