LYRICS
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See, on your 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
Oh! For the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Tho’ we have sinned He has mercy and pardon
Pardon 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
Gently He leads those who carry their young ones
Shepherd for you and for me
Surely His goodness and mercy will follow
Ever with you and with me
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling O sinner come home
Calling O sinner come home
Original song adapted by Kristyn Getty; Ashokan Farewell written by Jay Unger

really miss the good old days, when the Gospel preaching is about souls, not money, when we come to the Lord with all purity.

Beautiful! Please come home, this world is not our home. Jesus is calling!

This is so beautiful, it reminds me of our Saviour's words in Matthew 23 v 37.

I started listening to the Getty’s about a month ago. Their music brings the joy of the Lord out of me with gladness and hope! I love ❤️ your music so much that it keeps my eyes on Jesus in a great way! Thank you Getty family!

[@karinberryman2009]

And we’d probably thought real Christian music wasn’t being sung anymore. I sure did until I discovered ‘He is’ - Andrew Peterson.

[@deniseyoung4494]

Absolutely gorgeous beautiful song. I love it!!!!!

Oh my word! Sierra Hull on backup vocals? Wow! I wondered where the beautiful mandolin was coming from. Beautiful. Thank you!

[@planetcoasterboycj7274]

This is beautiful. You guys never disappoint. One has to wonder if this is how gatherings of the Early Church sometimes sounded. Just simple singing with few (if any) instruments and crickets all around outside.

[@mrbond1069]

Amen

[@goukhansiam9051]

Amazing

[@curtisbanks1136]

AMEN AND HALLELUJAH 🙏 LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU WITH HIS BLESSINGS A BEAUTIFUL VOICES TO ENTERTAIN YOU US WITH.✝️✝️

Oh how I love to hear Kristyn’s beautiful voice. I can’t wait for them to come back to South Florida to perform again. The Getty’s are such a sweet blessing.
