And now He is watching in tenderness o’er me,
But, oh, 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.

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] Topics: Everlasting Life; God Love and Mercy; Invitation; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Testimony, Witness and Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
