Softly And Tenderly Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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
