When I Pray Lyrics - Freedom - Darrell Evans

I was sold to slavery 

My brothers moved by jealousy 

Father's favor to a well 

My master's favor to a prison cell 

But still Your kindness stayed with me 

I knew someday that You would set me free 

Through it all Your grace was shown 

My confidence in You has only grown 

(Chorus) 

When I pray 

I feel that You are near 

When I cry 

You're there to dry my tears 

When I shout 

You're the only One who really hears 

When I pray 

I was in the field the day 

That Your anointing came my way 

Through the lion 

Through the bear 

From the giant to the Kingdom's chair 

From deadly spears of jealousy 

To weaknesses exposed of me 

Cast me not away from Thee 

Create a brand-new heart in me 

Praying in Gethsemane 

I know You saw the ones like me 

The cross You freely chose to bear 

It was my sin that nailed You there 

Now You mediate for me 

So I can pray confidently 

When I pray
