Come To Jesus
Mindy Smith

"Oh, my baby, when you're older
Maybe then you'll understand
You have angels that dance around your shoulders
'Cause at times in life you need a loving hand

Oh, my baby, when you're prayin'
Leave your burden by my door
You have Jesus standing by your bedside
To keep you calm, keep you safe,
Away from harm

Worry not, my daughters,
Worry not, my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, my baby, when you're cryin'
Never hide your face from me
I've conquered hell and driven out the demons
I have come with a life to set you free

Worry not, my daughters,
Worry not, my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, my baby, when you're dying
Believe the healing of His hand
Here in Heaven, we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven, you will finally understand
Here in Heaven, we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven, you will finally understand

Worry not, my daughters,
Worry not, my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms"

(edited because the lyrics were incorrect)

I've heard this song more and more and could not understand what she was singing, except for picking up a few phrases here and there. It is a powerful, haunting song. You can listen to it on her site here. If you haven't heard it yet, you should. I don't know if she wrote it herself, but she sings it like she did.
