Elvis Presley - Softly And Tenderly lyrics

rate me

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,

Calling for you and for me.

Patient and loving He抯 waiting and watching;

Watching for you and for me.

Chorus:

Come home, come home,

Ye who are weary come home;

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;

Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

Repeat Chorus

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading,

Pleading for you and for me?

Why should we wait, then, and heed not His mercies;

Mercies for you and for me?

Repeat Chorus

O for the wonderful love He has promised,

Promised for you and for me.

Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon;

Pardon for you and for me.

Repeat Chorus
