Why should you tarry when Jesus is pleading.
Pleading for you and for me.
Why do we linger and hear 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 sinners come home.
Will L. Thompson author of this wonderful was visiting the dying evangelist Dwight Moody and he said. Write a song. Softly and tenderly... Jesus is calling.
At His death bed Thompson decided to write....
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.
Beloved in Christ,
This world is not our home.
Let us all look to Jesus, He is waiting for you...
