For You I am Praying

I have a Saviour, he's pleading in glory,

1

I have a Saviour, he's pleading in glory,A dear, loving Saviour, though earth-friends be few;And now he is watching in tenderness o'er me,And O that my Saviour were your Saviour too!

Chorus.

For you I am praying, for you I am praying,For you I am praying, I'm praying for you.

2

I have a Father: to me he has givenA hope for eternity, blessed and true;And soon will he call me to meet him in heaven,But O that he'd let me bring you with me too!

3

A robe fair and spotless, resplendent in whiteness,Is waiting in glory my wondering view;And when I receive it all shining in brightness,Dear friend, I would see you receiving one too!

4

To me has been given sweet peace like a river—A peace that the friends of this world never knew;And Christ is the Author, and Christ is the Giver,And O that his peace might be given to you!

5

When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,That my loving Saviour is your Saviour too;Then pray that your Saviour may bring them to glory,And prayer will be answered—'twas answered for you!
