Elvis Presley Softly and Tenderly song lyrics


Elvis Presley Softly and Tenderly song lyrics
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
Patient and loving He? 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, "O sinner, come home!"

Repeat Chorus

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?

Repeat Chorus

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.

Repeat Chorus
