Lyrics
Softly and Tenderly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now we'd like to settle things down just a bit
And sing one of favourite sacred songs
Tonight I've chosen one that's long been a favourite of mine
And I hope it's one of your favourites
Softly and Tenderly
Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal
He's watching and waiting
Waitin' for you and for me
Come home...
Come ho-ome
He who are wary
Come ho-ome
Ernestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner
Come home
Come home...
Come ho-ome
He who are wary
Come ho-o-ome
Ernestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner
Come home...
