- 1I have a Savior, He's pleading in glory,A dear loving Savior, tho' earthfriends be few;And now He is watching in tenderness o'er me;But O that my Savior were your Savior too!For 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 givenA hope for eternity, blessed and true;And soon He will call me to meet Him in heaven,But O that He'd let me bring you with me too!For you I am praying, For you I am praying,For you I am praying, I'm praying for you.
- 3I have a robe: 'tis resplendent in whiteness,Awaiting in glory my wondering view;O when I receive it all shining in brightness,Dear friend, could I see you receiving one, too!For you I am praying, For you I am praying,For you I am praying, I'm praying for you.
- 4I 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!For you I am praying, For you I am praying,For you I am praying, I'm praying for you.
- 5When Jesus has found you, tell others the storyThat 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!For you I am praying, For you I am praying,For you I am praying, I'm praying for you.
