Softly & Tenderly Lyrics - Elvis Presley

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, 

Calling for you and for me. 

Patient and loving He? 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?

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.
