1. Ev'ry time I do a deed I shouldn't do, Ev'ry time I say a word I shouldn't say; Let me tell you what I do and it brings a blessing, too, I just steal away somewhere and pray. CHORUS:
I just steal away, (steal away and pray) I just steal away, (steal away and pray) And I ask my blessed Lord to lead the way; I just steal away, (steal away and pray) I just steal away, (steal away and pray) I just steal away somewhere and pray.
2. Oftentimes I'm made to bow my head in shame At some idle thought or deed along life's way, But I never am ashamed of my Savior's precious name, I just steal away somewhere and pray.
CHORUS:
3. Christ, the Savior, always hears and answers pray'r, And He gives me many blessings ev'ry day; So when I have tried my best and I've failed to pass the test, I just steal away somewhere and pray.
