“Come To Me” is the first release from Bethel Church’s newest CD, “The Loft Sessions.” It was written and is sung by Jenn Johnson. The words of the song are written from God’s point of view, pouring out His love and promises for us as his people. “Come to Me, for I AM all you need!” “I am your anchor in the wind and the waves. I am your steadfast, so DON’T be afraid!”

The song uses scripture and Bible imagery to remind us that God is there for us when we need Him. Even when we might feel that He is far away, He is closer than our own breath! Listen to the words and compare it with a few of the following verses.

Matthew 11: 28-30 (NLT)

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

DEUTERONOMY 31:6 (NLT)

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.

PSALM 91: 14-15 (NLT)

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
