The Original “Come Jesus Come”

CeCe Winans released “Come Jesus Come” in 2024, and the song reached the number six spot on the US Gospel chart. The stirring lyrics read like a prayer:

“Come, Jesus, come /
We’ve been waiting so long /
For the day You return /
To heal every hurt and right every wrong.”

Most recently, she performed the faith-based tune on American Idol’s Easter special with contestant Roman Collins. Relive that performance below!
