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?
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, death-beds are coming—
Coming for you and for me!

Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming—

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!
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon—

I remember hearing this song in church when I was young and even though I may have lost my religion and do not attend church anymore, this song is one that sticks with me. I love how beautiful the lyrics are. I sing it often to my children. I am so glad I look into and found this site.

This is an example of song written with inspiration. Singing this song makes JESUS so real in my mind. I will write songs of inspiration.

Since I heard the song yesterday, I could not just take my heart and lips off the song. This song is full, I want to sing it so many more will hear the message in it.

I love this song. I heard it when I was 5. It was beautiful in my ears and it is still ringing in my ears. It makes me wanna cry right now.

Beautiful first hymn at my brother's funeral. I always feel concerned when I see how few of the younger generation know these words. All soo
true.

I like this song because, as my mother was dying, the words of the chorus kept going through my mind, "Jesus is calling, come home, come home". My wife and I sang the sang to her, that evening she did go Home.
