    I sat next to the ladies section at one of their performances. The unison of their voices was incredible. I grew up with the choir and the tabernacle. It is a very special place to me. I was baptized in the tabernacle. Yes there was a baptistery. I now have stage 4 prostate cancer, so you can imagine my feelings. The Lord directed me to this hymn somehow. He is more than kind to me.

    Death comes as a friend, they say. And as I get older, I can clearly see this to be true. This song and heavenly choir singing further enlightens this glorious reality. Even with all the pandemics deaths, let us remember that release from all bodily struggles and cares is a totally blissful, wondrous experience.

    Softly and Tenderly Lyrics (as performed by The Tabernacle Choir)
    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, 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,
    Ye 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,
    Ye who are weary, come home;
    Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
    Calling, O sinner, come home!
    Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
    Calling, O sinner, come home, come home, come home,
    Come home!
