Come Sunday
Finding Light in Gray Skies: The Spiritual Journey of 'Come Sunday'
Lyrics
Ooh
Expressing emotion, possibly awe or reverence.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
An invocation addressing the divine.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Pleading for divine intervention to help the speaker's community.
I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
Expressing belief in a higher power responsible for celestial bodies.
I don't mind the gray skies
Acceptance of challenging times represented by gray skies.
'cause they're just clouds passing by.
Seeing challenges as transient, akin to passing clouds.
Heaven is a goodness time.
Portraying heaven as a time of goodness.
A brighter light on high.
Describing heaven as a source of brighter light.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Advocating the golden rule of treating others as you want to be treated.
And have a brighter by and by.
Anticipating a better future (by and by) through positive actions.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Reiteration of the plea for divine help.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Repetition of the request for divine intervention for the speaker's community.
I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
Affirming belief in God's eternal existence.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.
Expressing confidence that with God's blessings, endurance through eternity is possible.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Reiterating the call for divine assistance.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Restating the plea for God's intervention on behalf of the speaker's people.
