Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling

 

Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling

Jesus is not going to force us to do anything. He has always given us a choice. He stands willing and ready to accept you as one of His own. He calls us softly and tenderly. He does not demand us to follow Him. Time is getting short though and we must decide now and forever if we are going to serve Him or serve our self. The choice is ours. He is pleading with you that you don’t wait too long.

Lyrics by Will L. Thompson, arranged by Will L. Thompson

“Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He’s watching and waiting, watching for you and for me.

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?

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, coming for you and for me.

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, you who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!

"Whosoever Will"

 

“Whosoever Will”

Whoever hears the Word of God may be inclined to share it with others. Who wouldn’t want to spread the good news? It is for everyone and it is the road to salvation. Whoever comes to God, must not delay for Jesus is the only way to reach God. It means an eternity in heaven with our Heavenly Father.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“Whosoever hears,” shout, shout the sound! Spread the blessed tidings all the world around; Tell the joyful news wherever man is found.

Whosoever comes, need not delay, now the door is open, enter while you may; Jesus is the true, the only Living Way.

“Whosoever will,” the promise is secure; “Whosoever will,” forever must endure; “Whosoever will,” tis life for evermore;

“Whosoever will may come,” “Whosoever will, whosoever will!” send the proclamation over vale and hill’ Tis a loving Father calls the wanderer home; “Whosoever will may come.”

Why Not Now?

 

                                                Why Not Now?

Today is your last day. You haven’t accepted God’s grace yet. You have wandered so far away from God, you may be thinking there is no hope left. What a troubled mind you have, and there is no peace in it. Why risk your last minutes when God is offering to pardon you of all your sins. Trust in Him, He offers peace and joy and a heavenly home to spend eternity in. Why not now? Come to Jesus now. Confess your sins and give yourself to Him. Receive Him now.

Lyrics by Daniel W. Whittle, arranged by Charles C. Case

“While we pray and while we plead, while you see your soul’s deep need, while our Father calls you home, will you not, my brother come?

You have wandered far away; Do not risk another day; Do not turn from God thy face but today accept His grace.

In this world you failed to find aught of peace for troubled mind; Come to Christ, on Him believe, peace and joy you shall receive.

Come to Christ, confession make; come to Christ, and pardon take; Trust in Him from day to day, He will keep you all the way.

Why not now? Why not now? Why not come to Jesus now? Why not now? Why not now? Why not come to Jesus now?

Give Me Thy Heart

 

                                                Give Me Thy Heart

God says, “Give me your heart.” God gave us His heart when He gave us His Son. In return, He wants us to give Him our heart. Our heart is where love resides. When we give love to God, we surrender all our past sins and desires to Him. He gave us everything that we have and He wants us to give our all to Him. Our gracious, merciful God is wanting your love. He doesn’t need it, but He freely gives us His love, so shall we freely give our love to Him.

Lyrics by Eliza E. Hewitt, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“Give my thy heart, “says the Father above, no gift so precious to Him as our love, softly He whispers wherever thou are, “gratefully trust me, and give me thy heart.”

“Give me thy heart, “says the Savior of men, calling in mercy again and again; “turn now from sin, and from evil depart, have I not died for thee? Give me thy heart.

“Give me thy heart, “says the Spirit divine, “all that thou hast, to my keeping resign; Grace more abounding is mine to impart, make full surrender and give me thy heart.”

“Give me thy heart, give me thy heart,” Hear the soft whisper, wherever thou are; from this dark world He would draw thee apart, speaking so tenderly, “Give me thy heart.”

Almost Persuaded

 

                                                Almost Persuaded

Why aren’t you persuaded to follow Jesus? Don’t wait for your life to get better, make it better now. God will forgive your sins so don’t wait until you can conquer them on your own. It can’t be done. God is your helper and will conquer your struggles if only you let go and let Him. There is no time like the present, waiting may cost you your eternity in Heaven. Arms open wide, Jesus beckons you to come to Him and accept Him. Believe in Him, He will set you free.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“Almost persuaded” now to believe; “Almost persuaded,” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way, some more convenient day on Thee I’ll call.

“Almost persuaded” come, come today; “Almost persuaded,” turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near, prayers rise from hearts so dear, O wanderer come.

“Almost persuaded,” harvest is past! “Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, Sad that bitter wail, “Almost,” but lost.”

Close To Thee

 

                                                Close To Thee

Throughout our ministry for Christ, whether it be easy or hard, the only way it can be done to glorify our Savior is to walk with Him. It is not for self or popularity, but for Jesus Christ alone. He is the one that gives us strength and will power to do whatever He plans for us. Let His will be done in us and in whatever we do, may we do it to glorify Him and in a manner pleasing unto Him.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by Silas J. Vail

“Thou, my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me; all along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be; gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows, bear me over life’s fitful sea; Then the gate of life eternal may I enter, Lord, with Thee.

Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee.

My Jesus, I Love Thee

 

My Jesus, I Love Thee

No amount of words can express how much I Love Jesus. Can you imagine the amount of suffering He went through just to take away our sins and offer us forgiveness? He didn’t do this just for you or just for me, but for every being on the planet. For every sin committed He offered up His blood. For every small sin and every gigantic sin. It was all the same to Him. Sin is sin. What a gracious Redeemer! It’s because He loves us so much, that we show our love in return.

Lyrics by William R. Featherstone, arranged by Adoniram J. Gordon

“My Jesus, I love Thee, I know thou are mine, for Thee all the follies of sin I resign; My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, it’s now.

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me and purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree; I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus it’s now.

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death and praise Thee as long as Thou lends me breath; And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus it’s now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight, I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright; I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus it’s now.
