softly and tenderly - sara groves lyrics
text: will l. thompson
tune: thompson, meter: 11 7.11 7 with refrain
1. 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
refrain:
come home, come home;
ye who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, jesus is calling
calling, o sinner, come home!
2. why should we tary when jesus is pleading
pleading for you and for me?
why should we linger and heed not his mercies
mercies for you and for me?
(refrain)
3. time is now fleeting, the moments are p-ssing
p-ssing from you and from me;
shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming
coming for you and for me
(refrain)
4. 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
(refrain)
