Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling
Embrace Divine Invitation: Softly and Tenderly He Calls
Lyrics
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Jesus is inviting in a gentle and affectionate manner.
Calling for you and for me
The call is for both you and me, emphasizing inclusivity.
See on the portals
Pointing to the gateways or entrances.
He's waiting and watching
Jesus is presently waiting and observing.
Watching for you and for me
Continuously watching for both you and me.
Come home, come home
An earnest plea for those who are distant to return home.
You who are weary come home
Invitation for the weary to find solace by coming home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Jesus is calling with deep sincerity and tenderness.
Calling O sinner, come home
A specific call to sinners to return home.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading
Raising a question about delaying response to Jesus' plea.
Pleading for you and for me?
Jesus is actively interceding on behalf of both you and me.
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Raising a question about the hesitancy to accept His mercy.
Mercies for you and for me?
Highlighting the availability of mercy for both you and me.
Come home, come home
Repetition of the invitation to come home for the weary.
You who are weary come home
Reiteration of the call for the weary to find rest at home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Reaffirming the earnest and tender nature of Jesus' call.
Calling O sinner, come home
Reiterating the specific call for sinners to come home.
Come home, come home
Repetition of the plea for those who are weary to return.
You who are weary come home
Renewed call for the weary to find comfort by coming home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Emphasizing the earnest and tender nature of Jesus' invitation.
Calling O sinner, come home
Repeating the call for sinners to respond to Jesus' plea.
Calling O sinner, come home
Final repetition of the specific call for sinners to come home.
