This song was playing at my grandpa's funeral.

My mother was saved at a church service one night in Elmwood, Ohio. As she walked down the aisle to the alter the choir was singing this song.

Osm....Amen...from india

I wake up this morning singing this song with tears flowing down on my cheeks, l went searching and found it on google. Love it such a heart warming song. God blessings are with you.

lindíssimo lindissimo

I am Simple man. I see Alan Jackson , I hit like

It's hard for me to hold it together when I hear these hymns. Forget romantic songs there's nothing that has hit my soul like classic hymns sang beautifully.

I've gone to some old-timey churches and modern ones also. I agree, nothing like the old hymns. I would start crying, people be staring!😆

Enzo 1965 amen I’m 33 and nothing hits you more than the good ole gospel hymns. Just hits you in the heart 🙂

Amen, Roger

United States Of America - 24/7 ! Till death do us part !

United States Of America -
Sometimes it hits me in
The @“aaa!” 🌈🛠🧰👍.
So I can recover from a
Mean spirited comment . From someone that should “know !” Better.!

T he one song I thought of this morning getting out of my car for work I love Jesus and not ashamed of the gospel...

It's lovely but it's too bad Jackson doesn't have the range to do this song justice.

Bea Utiful!

If you have never seen the movie "A Trip To Bountiful" 1986 with Geraldine Page, this song is such a huge part of that movie. She won the Academy Award that year and is just amazing in that movie. Highly recommended if you like just a plain old fashioned good story.

+Michael ..I LOVE "A Trip to Bountiful" and finally caught it on TCM and was able to DVR it!
Geraldine Page who made movies for 40 years, unfortunately won a posthumous Academy Award for her "hymn singing" around the apartment, that I would have cherished every word!

Let go Mama. Jesus is calling!

i like this song

An old hank song alan did good

Alan Jackson you are a gift from God! My favorite worship singer!

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See all the portholes
He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling all sinners, come home.
All for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Through all our suffering
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 all sinners, come home.

Ian Wickramaratne portals. Otherwise you did a fantastic job of writing the lyrics. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to write the words to my favorite song .

Thank you, Ian. I think the third line goes "See on the portals..."

Is alan jackson a member of gaither church?

Nailed it

key of F, can use D and capo up 3, find the tempo hard to follow.

I just love Alan Jackson

Love it....

This is the song I went forward in church! Hardest walk I ever took! Baptised and have never regretted what I did! Love God and his blessings!

Praise the Lord! keep studying your Bible--He speaks to us through His Word.

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Rhonda Boncutter I walked forward on April 25, 2004 and gave my life to Jesus with the song " open the eyes of my heart Lord" playing. I to have never regretted it. Oh how I love Jesus. Be blessed

steve billiter great advice. I've been saved since 2004, and wow was I blown away when that Bible started speaking to me. My grandmother always taught me how the Bible would speak to me. Now I can't stop reading it, and talking with God. Be blessed

@Vickie Finney God be with you, too!

@Rhonda Boncutter thank you. He will never leave or forsake us. Blessings❤

This is it ... Beautiful song. JC Call me to come Home.

Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take My yoke on you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Mat 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Jesus is calling us now! He just wants us to come today--repentance, confession of sin, and baptism are conditions we must also meet--but Jesus will lead us just one step at a time, waiting until we're ready for the next step.

https://www.bibleuniverse.com/bible-school Here are some great lessons one can do at their own pace!

I was saved by my love for God and Jesus! It will always be my anthem!

Thank you :)) this is my favourite Hymn <3 with a touch of country - very sweetGod Bless you Alan

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.

Chorus:
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.

Gotta love that Alan Jackson! ❤️🤗👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you
I CRY IS A blessing in disguise
