Johnny Cash — Softly and Tenderly

[Verse 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 [Chorus] Come home, come home You who are weary come home Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling Calling, oh, sinner come home [Verse 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] Oh, 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 [Chorus]
