This is a poem about prayer. So many times I have had to steal away from everything and everybody and talk to my Father.

Steal Away

I love to steal away sometimes
Into His Holy Place
To bow down humbly on my knees
Or just fall upon my face

When the cares of life try to weigh me down
And all hope it seems is gone
I go into His Throne Room
It’s there I become unwound

I take my pains and burdens
I lay them at His feet
When I leave from out His presence
Each challenge I’m ready to meet

Why do we worry, why do we fret
When we have a friend so dear
No matter what we go through
Just know that He is near

Just close your eyes and Steal Away
For just a little while
There’s a telephone hidden in your bosom
All you have to do is dial

Dial J for the JOY He’ll give to you
When in His presence you will come
Dial E for His ETERNAL PEACE
It’s YOURS if you want some

Dial S for His SALVATION
For that is what He gives
Dial U for UNDERSTANDING
For He knows just where you live

Dial S my friend for His SOVEREIGNTY
For He truly is in charge
No matter how small the problem
No matter my friend, how large

Just steal away and talk to Him
Just tell Him how you feel
Just lay before Him prostrate
If you desire just humbly kneel

He always is available
To fellowship with you
Cast all your cares upon Him
I promise He’ll see you through

He CAN relate to ALL your problems
He can relate to ALL your pain
He knows how to make the sun come out
And put a stop to ALL the rain

When the storms of life overtake you
And you feel like giving up
Just Steal Away To Jesus
He’ll Make EVERYTHING All Right
