Softly and Tenderly

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

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
Ye who are weary,come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling,O sinner,come home

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]

Calling, oh sinner,come home
