"Come Jesus Come" is a heartfelt prayer set to music, blending Winans’ warm, soulful tones with Caesar’s timeless, anointed delivery. Written by acclaimed songwriters Hank Bentley, Bryan Fowler, Stephen McWhirter, and Tara McWhirter, the song weaves a narrative of hope, redemption, and an earnest longing for Christ’s return. Its lyrics—“Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray, come Jesus come, let today be the day”—resonate as a cry for divine presence in uncertain times.
Reflecting on this historic duet, CeCe Winans shared, “It is an absolute honor to sing alongside the incomparable Shirley Caesar. Her voice, her spirit, and her unwavering faith have impacted gospel music and the world for generations. ‘Come Jesus Come’ speaks to the times we’re living in, and having Pastor Caesar join me makes it even more powerful. I pray it blesses everyone who hears it.” The song’s journey began with its original version on More Than This, but this reimagined rendition elevates it to new heights, uniting two of gospel’s most revered voices.
The single’s world premiere aired on SiriusXM’s Kirk Franklin’s Praise on March 3, 2025, sparking anticipation among fans. “When I first recorded ‘Come Jesus Come,’ I never could have imagined the journey it would take,” Winans posted on X. “Having Pastor Caesar lend her voice is beyond what I dreamed.” The music video, released alongside the single, captures the song’s spiritual fervor, inviting viewers into a shared moment of worship.
CeCe Winans, with 17 Grammy Awards and over one billion U.S. streams, continues to cement her legacy as gospel’s best-selling and most-awarded female artist. Shirley Caesar, the “First Lady of Gospel,” brings over seven decades of ministry and music, with 12 Grammys and a career that has shaped the genre. Together, their voices create a landmark moment in gospel history.
