1. I have a Savior, he’s pleading in glory,
A dear loving Savior tho’ earth friends be few;
And now he is watching in tenderness o’er me,
And O that my Savior were your Savior 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 given
A 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. I have a robe: ’tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
O when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friends could I see you receiving one too!
4. I have a peace: it is calm as a river—
A peace that the friends of this world never knew;
My Savior alone is its Author and Giver,
And O could I know it was given to you!
5. When Jesus finds you, tell others the story,
That my loving Savior is your Savior too;
Then pray that your Savior may bring them to glory,
And pray’r will be answered, ’twas answered for you!
