Softly and Tenderly
G C G
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Em A7 D D7
Calling for you and for me.
G C G
Patient and loving He’s waiting and watching;
C D D7 G
Watching for you and for me.
Chorus:
D7 G
Come home, come home,
D G A7 D D7
Ye who are weary come home;
G C G
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
C G D7 G
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"
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?
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.
