Softly and TenderlyAmy Grant

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 linger 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!

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
