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]
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]
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]
