Softly and Tenderly Lyrics

Merle Haggard

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 ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh sinners come home

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading
He’s pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercy
Mercy for you and for me
Thought of the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn’d 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 oh sinners come home

This beautiful song was written by Dottie Rambo. According to a St. Augustine newspaper article about the song, Dottie had just gone through a difficult time with a friend who had disappointed her. She decided to walk along the beach to clear her mind. “All of a sudden I thought, ‘Lord, this storm is so much like my life, and yet, in the midst of the storms of life, you have been a shelter to me. When I can’t take the storm, I run to you for that shelter and, suddenly, I feel secure.’” While pondering these thoughts she began to write Sheltered in the Arms of God.

WATCH The Gatlin Brothers, Duane Allen, Ben Speer awesome rendition of this song by Dottie Rambo gospel song “Sheltered In The Arms Of God.” Be blessed!

Sheltered in the Arms of God Lyrics

Song by Dottie Rambo

For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They’re leading me in paths that I must trod
I’ll have no fear ’cause Jesus walks beside me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God
He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven’s portals
“Come home, My child, it’s the last mile you have trod.”
I’ll just fall asleep and wake up in God’s new heaven
Forever sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God

He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
So let the cold winds blow
It’s so good to know
That I’m sheltered in the arms of God
Darling we have both been sheltered in the arms of God
The arms of God

We Shall See Jesus Lyrics

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Hoping to see Him as thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes, healed broken spirits
He moved with compassion, and even raised up the dead

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy to one who had healed them
Yet Jesus loved them as He suffered and died

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
For Jesus had risen and soon would ascend
But then as He blessed them, He rose to the Heavens
And He gave them this promise: He’d come back again

We shall see Jesus just as they saw Him
There is no greater promise than this
When He returns in power and glory
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus just as He is

“I Do Believe”

Written by William J. Gaither, Gloria Gaither

© 1981 Hanna Street Music (BMI)

Lyrics:

Some say faith is just believing

Others say it’s self-deceiving

Inventing childish dreams to get us through

Deep inside me there’s a yearning

For true wisdom, not just learning

I’d trade all my clever questions for one answer that is true

Lord you know, I need some answers

Questions eat at me like cancer

Make me once again, a simple child

Help me take the risk of losing

Lose it all to find in choosing

To believe You are the answer

Earth and heaven reconciled

I do believe You are the one

The home I’ve longed to find

My only hope, God’s only son

I do believe, I touch, I see

That all along You’ve longed to be

My Lord, My God / My Lord, My God / My Lord, My God / My Lord, My God
