134. Somebody’s Praying for You

1 Come to the Father, O Wanderer come,
Somebody’s praying for you;
Turn from the sin-paths no longer to roam,
Somebody’s praying for you.
Somebody loves you wherever you stray,
Bears you in faith to God day after day;
Pray’rfully follows you all the dark way,
Somebody’s praying for you, for you.

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

2 God’s voice is calling, O do not delay,
Somebody’s praying for you;
Bow at the mercy-seat, bend while you may,
Somebody’s praying for you.
Somebody’s wresting in pray’r for your soul,
Longing to see you made perfectly whole;
Down where the billows of Calvary roll
Somebody’s praying for you, for you. [Refrain]

3 Quench not the spirit but yield from your heart,
Somebody’s praying for you;
God waits his pardon, his peace to impart,
Somebody’s praying for you.
Kneel in your weakness confessing your sin,
Tho’ they are many and dark tho’ they’ve been;
Open your heart, let love’s cleansing tide in,
Somebody’s praying for you, for you. [Refrain]
