Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

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 oh sinners come home

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading 
He's pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercy 
Mercy for you and for me
Thought of the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn'd 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 sinners come home
