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 oh, 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 He will call me to meet Him in heaven,
But oh, that He’d let me bring you with me too!
3. I have a robe: ’tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wandering view;
Oh, when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, 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 oh, could I know it was given to you!
5. 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 pray’r will be answered—’twas answered for you!
