Lyrics

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling calling for you and for me And the heart's portal he's waiting and watching watching for you and for me Come home (come home) come home (come home) Ya who are weary come home Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling calling oh sinner come home (Steel) Why should we tarry 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 Come home (come home).
