Merle Haggard - Softly And Tenderly lyrics

rate me

(Will L. Thompson)

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See on the portals he's waiting and watching

Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh, sinners come home.

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading

He's pleading for you and for me

Why should we linger and heed not his mercy

Mercy for you and for me.

Thought of the wonderful love he has promised

Promised for you and for me

Though we have sinn'd he has mercy and pardon

Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh, sinners come home...
