I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
"You help us by your prayers." 2 Corinthians 1:11
Words: Samuel O'Malley Cluff, 1860.
Music: Ira David Sankey, 1874.
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 over 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.
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!
Refrain
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
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!
