Today's hymn is "Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling".
Death has been a bit on my mind in this last week, thinking about a few people who's time on this earth seems to be coming to a close. One of my favorite hymns for music that seems to blend so well with the words and what they are saying. Such a beautiful thought, to see the Saviour standing at heaven's gate calling, "Come home!" Love that. It's what we should be thinking about, because this world isn't home. It's not heaven. We must look to Jesus who has gone to prepare a place for those who love Him. I hope you love Him and can imagine Him saying, "Come home!"
Lyrics:
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.
[Refrain]
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?
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
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.
