I have a Savior,
He’s pleading in glory,
A dear, loving Savior
though earth friends be few;
And now He is watching
in tenderness o’er me;
And oh, that my Savior
were your Savior, too.
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
I have a Father; to me He has given
A hope for eternity, blessèd and true;
And soon He will call me
to meet Him in heaven,
But, oh, that He’d let me
bring you with me, too!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
I have a robe; ’tis resplendent
in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
Oh, when I receive it
all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you
receiving one, too!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
When He has found you,
tell others the story,
That my loving Savior
is your Savior, too;
Then pray that your Savior
may bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered—
’twas answered for you!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
Speak of that Savior,
that Father in heaven,
That harp, crown, and robe
which are waiting for you—
That peace you possess,
and that rest to be given,
Still praying that Jesus
may save them with you.
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
