Lyrics

My Sa­vior, who died on the cross for my sin,
Is plead­ing in glo­ry for me;
Redeeming my soul as a vic­tor to win,
He’s plead­ing in glo­ry for me.

Refrain

Pleading for me, plead­ing for me;
Advocate, friend and Re­deem­er is He;
Love look­ing down for my soul with a plea,
My Sav­ior is plead­ing for me.

He knows all my needs on the storm-beat­en sea,
He’s plead­ing in glo­ry for me;
Supplies them in mer­cy so rich and so free,
He’s plead­ing in glo­ry for me.

Refrain

I’m trust­ing His grace and His won­der­ful love,
He’s plead­ing in glo­ry for me;
To look on His face in the man­sions above,
He’s plead­ing in glo­ry for me.
