In your wilderness forlorn,

When you wander far from home,

In your fields where ‘ere you work,

Wherever fearsome danger lurks,

You can always say a prayer,

For your God is always there.

In your closet all alone,

Keeping secrets all your own,

With your family or friends,

Places to pray never end.

You can always say a prayer

For your God is always there.

Oppressed by your enemies,

Those within or those you see,

In the midst of congregations,

Pray against all temptation.

You can always say a prayer,

For your God is always there.
