Softly And Tenderly(Chords)

	        D                   G         D 
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling 
 G                       A 
Calling for you and for me 
D                        G                   D 
See, on the portals he's waiting and watching 
G            A            D 
Watching for you and for me 

   G      A      D 
Come home, come home 
G                       A 
You who are weary come home 
D                     G       D 
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling 
G           A            G 
Calling, O sinner, come home! 
 D                        G        D 
 Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading 
G                          A7  A 
 Pleading for you and for me? 
D                        G             D 
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies 
G           A            D 
Mercies for you and for me?  

 D                         G          D 
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing 
G                          A 
Passing from you and from me 
D                       G             D 
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming 
G          A7  A       D 
Coming for you and for me 

E                      A           E 
4 O for the wonderful love he has promised 
A                        B 
Promised for you and for me! 
E                          A            E 
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon 
A           B          E 
Pardon for you and for me
