Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

1
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling—
  Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is 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!
2
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?
3
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing—
  Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming—
  Coming for you and for me!
4
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!

This song reminds me of my days in high school. Today it has hit me as though I never heard it before. We need Jesus. We really need Jesus.

I woke up to this hymn this morning. I could hear the chorus as my feet hit the floor. What a ministering feeling knowing that there is a call from our Father in Heaven to come home. What great love he bestowed upon us in that He sent his Son, Emanuel, God with us, to pay our ransom. Glory!!!!!!

Confess Master Jesus and believe His death is effective to save and His Resurrection brings righteousness. Answer His call by Paul's gospel, and repent toward Christ. :^D Let all of *us* know we *are* going home, indeed, by *His* faithfulness to get all our Father chose to give to Him.
