I Am Praying for You

Samuel O'Malley Cluff • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 9:17

Verse 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, But O, 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.

Verse 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 O, that He’d let me bring you with me, too!

Chorus

For you I am praying, For you I am praying, For you I am praying, I’m praying for you.

Verse 3

I 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!

Chorus

For you I am praying, For you I am praying, For you I am praying, I’m praying for you.

Verse 4

When He 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!

Chorus

For you I am praying, For you I am praying, For you I am praying, I’m praying for you.
