LYRICS:

I have a Saviour, He’s pleading in glory,
A dear, loving Saviour, though earth-friends be few;
And now He is watching in tenderness o’er me,
But O, 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.

When He has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour, too;
Then pray that your Savior may bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered- ’twas answered for you!

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

STORY BEHIND THE HYMN:

“For You I Am Praying” is a hymn that was written by Samuel O’Malley Cluff.
This song talks about Christ who in the book of Hebrews is referred to as a High Priest.
He is a High Priest not on earth but in the heavenly sanctuary.
So just as in the Old Testament you had to go to a High Priest to have him offer a sacrifice for your sins now that activity is happening in heaven.
While in the earthly sanctuary the sacrifices were offered daily, Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice once and for all.
He now pleads for those who humbly seek God’s forgiveness.
Samuel O’Malley Cluff was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1837. He was a minister of the gospel in the Anglican church in Ireland.
The church of England is known as the Anglican church in other countries.
