Dolly Parton — Softly and Tenderly

[Verse 1] Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me See on the portal he's waiting and watching Watching for you and for me [Verse 2] So 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? [Chorus] Come home, come home Ye who are weary, come home Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, oh, sinner come home [Verse 3] Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me See on the portal he's waiting and watching Watching for you and for me [Chorus] Come home, come home Ye who are weary, come home [Outro] Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, oh, sinner, come home
