Softly and Tenderly Merle Haggard

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, "Oh sinners, come home"

[Verse 2]
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
Oh 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

[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, "Oh sinners, come home"
