I Steal Away And Pray

A                     E          A
I just steal away somewhere, and pray


[Verse 1]

A                                  D
Every time I do a deed I shouldn't do
A                                   E
Every time I say a word I shouldn't say
A
Let me tell you what I do
A      D
And it brings a blessing to
D      A              E          A
I just steal away somewhere, and pray


[Chorus]

A                         D
I just steal away (I just steal away)
D     A                               E
And I ask my blessed Lord to lead the way.
E      A           A
I just steal away (away),
A      D              E          A
I just steal away somewhere, and pray.
A                     E         A     D   A
I just steal away somewhere, and pray (and pray)

[Verse 2]

E      A                               D
I know God will hear and answer all my prayers
D    A                                E
If I thank Him for my blessings every day
E        A
When I'm bearing down with grief
A       D
He will give me some relief
D      A                      E
When I steal away to Him, and pray


[Chorus]

E      A                  D
I just steal away, I just steal away
D     A                               E
And I ask my blessed Lord to lead the way
E      A                  D
I just steal away, I just steal away
D      A              E          A
I just steal away somewhere, and pray


[Verse 3]

N.C.
Do we sometimes pray so much for ourselves
N.C.
That we forget those in greater need
N.C.
If we want our friends to be reached by our prayers
N.C.
Then we must pray for our enemies too
N.C.
Even in their most despiteful hours


[Outro]

A                     E             A
I just steal away somewhere.....and pray
