[Verse 1]
Tell me of my Intercessor,
Pleading for mercy for me
At the right hand of our Father,
loving me eternally.
Tell how He prays when He sees us
Struggling with our human will,
"Please give them power, dear Father,
To keep them sanctified still."

[Refrain]
Tell me of my Intercessor,
Pleading for mercy for me
At the right hand of our Father,
Loving me eternally.

[Verse 2]
Tell me of my Intercessor,
Watching me in times of grief,
Sending the Comforter to me,
Bringing for sorrow, relief.
Tell how He calls us to open
And read in God's Holy Word
Things that specific'lly answer
Queries that sorrow has stirred.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Tell me of my Intercessor,
Seeing the snares that await
Me, here amidst unbelievers
And Satan's power so great.
Tell how He saves from entrapment;
The Spirit whispers within,
"This is not true.  Do not trust it.
It will just lead you to sin."

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
Tell me of my Intercessor
Waiting in heaven above~~
A place for me there preparing,
Where all is beauty and love.
Tell how He yearns that we will be,
One day, in heaven with Him;
Rejoicing and glory making
Mem'ries of earth's suff'rings dim.

[Refrain]
