Softly and Tenderly Carl Smith With the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle 1954

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

From John 14 KJV

Lyrics listed in Public Domain

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
At the portals He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

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

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

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

Sadly, Silver (Melva) passed away March 17, 2017. Fly High with the angels Melva.
