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.
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.
Christ, the Savior, always hears and answers prayer,
And He gives me many blessings day by day by day;
So when I have tried my best and have failed to pass the test,
That’s when I steal away somewhere and pray.
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.
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.
Christ, the Savior, always hears and answers prayer,
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.
