When I Pray by 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
( Repeat Chorus x2 )
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
