Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling


G                              C            G                                                D
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me.
G                                       C                  G                                    D                 G
See, on the portals He's waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.


            D                    G         A                                         D
Come home,  come home, Ye who are weary, come home.
G                               C            G                           D                    G
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!


G                                           C            G                                                       D
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, pleading for you and for me?
G                                          C                    G                                 D                 G
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, mercies for you and for me?


G                                        C                    G                                                            D
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me.
G                                        C                        G                              D                 G
Shadows are gathering, death's night is coming, coming for you and for me.


G                              C                   G                                                          D
O for the wonderful love He has promised, promised for you and for me!
G                                                     C                G                              D                 G
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me.
