Vibes Web3 Music competition Week 4| Softly and Tenderly Carrier Underwood

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

It's Vibes music competition week 4 and I am delighted to become a participant and put up my very first entry in the competition.
Having giving quiet a thought about what to sing I found the lyrics of this song very much relatable.
So many times in my life I have felt all alone, rejected, with no friends or anyone to talk too. Those moments were really though for me especially the times I had contemplated suicide a couple of times. At some points in my life I have felt like the tribulation I have suffered were as a result of the sins I have committed but the song has rightly told me that even though I have Gone wrong in life, mercy abounds.
All I needed to do was to forgive myself and God will forgive and heal me. I got so emotional while singing it for the first and second video and I feel relieved been able to make a cover of the song without breaking down like before.

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 sinner, come home”

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

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”

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

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner…”

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”
