In a monumental meeting of gospel and country, CeCe Winans and Cody Johnson have released their breathtaking new duet version of “Come Jesus Come,” available now on all major streaming platforms. The song delivers a soul-stirring reminder of faith and hope in troubled times—brought to life by two of music’s most emotionally resonant voices.
The release follows CeCe Winans’ unforgettable performance of “Come Jesus Come” during American Idol’s “Songs of Faith” Easter special, which captured the hearts of millions. The viral moment garnered over 25 million views in just 36 hours and rocketed the song to #3 on Apple Music’s All Genre Singles Chart—a rare feat for a gospel song and a testament to its universal appeal.
Produced by Kyle Lee in Nashville, the newly released duet version blends CeCe’s signature purity and power with Cody’s raw, heartfelt delivery. Together, they offer a transcendent performance that bridges genres while preserving the deep spiritual cry of the original.
“This song is a prayer,” says CeCe Winans. “Singing it with Cody brought a new depth to the message—and I hope it meets people right where they are.”
“I’ve always believed music should move people,” adds Cody Johnson. “When CeCe asked me to join her on this, I didn’t hesitate. There’s something timeless and healing about this song.”
This marks yet another milestone for CeCe Winans, whose legacy continues to shape music and culture. Her recent Idol appearances—including the record-breaking 2024 duet of “Goodness of God” with contestant Roman Collins (now surpassing 120 million views)—have reignited nationwide passion for gospel music.
With 17 GRAMMY® Awards, countless accolades, and a voice that has inspired generations, CeCe Winans remains a beacon in the music world. Teaming up with Cody Johnson, whose honest songwriting and powerful performances have made him a standout in country music, the duo delivers a release that’s both spiritually grounded and widely accessible.
