I Steal Away And Pray Lyrics - Louvin Brothers

I Just Steal Away And Pray 

written by Albert E. Brumley 

(This transcription of lyrics as recorded by The Louvin Brothers) 

(lead on this recording is by Charlie Louvin) 

I just steal away somewhere, and pray 

Every time I do a deed I shouldn't do, 

Every 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

(Charlie Louvin, with backup chorus on refrain) 

I just steal away, I just steal away 

And I ask my blessed Lord to lead the way 

I just steal away, I just steal away 

I just steal away somewhere, and pray 

I know God will hear and answer all my prayers 

If I'll thank Him for my blessings every day 

When I'm burdened down with grief, He will give my heart relief 

When I steal away to Him, and pray 

I just steal away, I just steal away 

And I ask my blessed Lord to lead the way 

I just steal away, I just steal away 

I just steal away somewhere, and pray

(spoken by Ira Louvin): 

Do we sometimes pray so much for ourselves, 

That we forget others who are in greater need? 

If we want our friends to be reached through our prayers, 

Then we must also pray for our enemies, even in their most despiteful hours 

(sung by Charlie and the chorus) 

I just steal away somewhere, and pray.
