Come and See
The concept these words teach - that the power that raised Christ from the dead is available to us today to raise those of us who are dead in trespasses and sins, that regardless of our slavery and bondage to sin Christ has broken the yoke of bondage and given us freedom to obey God's will - is as true today as it was 25 years ago when the song came out, and almost 2000 years ago when the Holy Spirit inspired the disciples to teach this wonderful truth by pen and voice. May we take them to heart.

Words by Jon Mohr/David Huntsinger/Bonnie Huntsinger To all who are tortured and ravaged by sin The frail and the wounded about to give in There's news of release and captivity's end We've been set free, come and see Oh sleeper awake, come out of the night Throw open the door and step into the light For sin is undone and the wrong is made right We've been set free, come and see Chorus Come and see, the power of sin has been broken The gates of your prisons stand open, come and see Arise, believe, for the power at work both to rescue and save Is the power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave We've been set free, come and see I, too, lived in slavery, unmercifully bound Battered and broken I finally knelt down And there in obedience freedom was found, I've been set free And now through the dungeons of darkness and night I run in the freedom of liberty's light And shout to the captives, "Oh prisoner, take flight We've been set free, come and see" Chorus If the enemy's holding a knife to your chest Demanding you give up or die In Christ crucified you've already died And now you are free Chorus |
