Leigh Nash "Out of My Bondage"

Do you ever feel exhausted from sorrow, pride, anger, failure, sickness etc...? This enchanting version of a hymn titled "Out of My Bondage" or "Jesus I come to Thee" speaks about how amidst chaos and weakness we can come to Jesus and trade it all in for his incomparable goodness and riches. I especially love this version by Leigh Nash because of the weakness and eeriness in her voice on the chorus that helps illustrate how even though we come to Jesus as imperfect and weary people, He accepts us and shares his wealth with us. Listen to this song while reading the lyrics below and be encouraged because you have everything you need in Jesus who lovingly welcomes and comforts you.



Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,
Jesus, I come to thee
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Oh Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come to thee
Into Thy blessèd will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings of a dove,
Oh Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come to thee
Into the joy and light of Thine own,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Oh Jesus, I come to Thee.
