For You I Am Praying
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1I 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,
But oh, that my Savior were your Savior, too.
RefrainFor you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.
2I have a Father; to me He has given
A hope for eternity, blessed 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!
3I 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!
4When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Savior is your Savior, too;
Then pray that your Savior will bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered—'twas answered for you!
