Softly And Tenderly
Recorded by Jim Reeves [3/4 time]
written by Will L. Thompson and Eugene Clark

G                   C        G 
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Em          A7          D7
Calling for you and for me
G                      C            G
See on the portal He's watching and waiting
C           D7          G
Waiting for you and for me

     D7        G
Come home come home
D7         G    A7   D7                         
Ye who are wary come home
G                  C        G   
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
C          G      D7   G 
Calling oh sinner come home
 
                          C        G
Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading
Em           A7          D7   
Pleading for you and for me
G                           C            G
Why should we wait then and heed not His mercies
C           D7          G
Mercies for you and for me

                     C           G 
Oh for the wonderful love He has promised
Em           A7          D7 
Promised for you and for me
G                            C         G
Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon
C          D7          G
Pardon for you and for me

Repeat #2
