Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling

Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling Will L. Thompson 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!" 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? Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming 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.

Matthew 11:28-30 (New American Standard Bible) "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Luke 1:76-79 (New American Standard Bible) Zacharias' Prophecy concerning Jesus "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare his ways; to give to His people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, with which the sunrise from on high will visit us, to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
