lyrics
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.
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;
you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
Come home, come home;
you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
2
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?
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 passing,
passing from you and from me;
shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
coming for you and for me.
passing 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.
promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
pardon for you and for me.
[Refrain].
“Jesus answered and said to them,
Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have
not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance,” (Luke 5:31).
It does not matter how serious our
sins are, when we ask for forgiveness from God, He will surely pardon us.
Being repentant for the sins that
we commit and turning away from sin, might be hard to do at first. But when you
realized that Jesus is knocking on your heart, you better grab that opportunity
and have a new life. Come home to God’s embrace.
When the world-renowned lay preacher, Dwight
Lyman Moody, lay on his death bed in his Northfield, Massachusetts, home, Will
Thompson made a special visit to inquire as to his condition. The attending
physician refused to admit him to the sickroom, and Moody heard them talking
just outside the bedroom door. Recognizing Thompson’s voice, he called for him
to come to his bedside. Taking the Ohio poet-composer by the hand, the dying
evangelist said, “Will, I would rather have written “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is
Calling” than anything I have been able to do in my whole life.”
Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909) Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio. Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York. Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio. Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times: "No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. hymnary.org
