Watching for you and for me

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Cm             D#
Calling, "Oh, 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

Oh, 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, "Oh sinner come home"

Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, "Oh sinner, come home"
