Softly an Tenderly
Hymn by Will L Thompsom
(1880)
"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"
She lay in bed under the covers
facing the wall
He sat on the bed
facing away
He sat there
for eternity it seemed
"Are you going to lay down?
You're sagging the bed ." she said
He layed down facing upward
Then she rolled over
and looked at him
For the longest time
she didn't move
or say anything
Then she rolled back over
pulling the covers up
He just layed there
not moving
barely breathing
Fifteen , twenty , thirty minutes
Then she rolls back around
and puts her arm
across his chest
and snuggles up under his arm
He is surprised
doesn't know what to do
He doesn't want
to break the spell
Slowly he puts his hand
on her waist
and feels a shudder
shoot through her
But she says nothing
He breathes easier
softer
"Come home , come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly , tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling , O sinner , come home"

A fine write Swing. Oh, I remotely recall the hymn, but not the tune. There's literally hundreds I don't know, when I looked up an online hymnal. Though I may know a fair few.
