I Am Praying for You


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,
But, 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 will He 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)

2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 and 3) read  the scripture form the book of Matthew 6:5-14  Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together
