I Have a Savior (I Am Praying For You)

No. 298
(INTERCESSION)
1.

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.

Refrain:
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 given
A hope for eternity, blessed and true;
And soon will He call me to meet Him in heaven,
But, oh, that He’d let me bring you with me, too!

Refrain:
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.

3.

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!

Refrain:
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.

4.

When Jesus 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!

Refrain:
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.
