Jesus,
You are the one who can speak to my need. You are the one who can free me from myself. You are the one who I hear calling. Help me to turn toward you. Enableme to live in your freedom. Replace my wants with your wants. Keep my heart focused on your will. Open my ears to hear your leading. You are wise and perfect. Make your will obvious to me, because I am a dense man.
I am impatient and do not want to wait. But I stay at rest, and I meditate on the knowledge that it will be far better to follow you than to race ahead of you. To often I look to the future and pay little attention to the present. Open my eyes to the ministry you have laid before me where I am. Remind me to share your glory in all I say and in all I do.
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.
Come home, come home,
You 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,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
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.
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O 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.
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Thank you Jesus, Amen.
