I Have Prayed for Thee ====================== w: Julia H. Johnston m: D. H. Towner, 1910 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Jesus came to Simon just before he went astray, Knowing his denial was not very far away. The Savior gently called his name and then their eyes did meet, "Satan has desired to have you that he may sift you as the wheat." [Chorus] But I have prayed for thee, and I have cried for thee; Let thy faith fail not. For there will be others someday that will need you to pray; So I have prayed for you. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] We have Christian friends around us, Satan wants them, too. They'll miss the joy of serving God, His will they'll never do. Let's not let another person fall beside the way, Let us care enough to help them, may our hearts cry out and say: [Chorus] [Chorus - Key Change] [Coda] I have prayed for thee.
