Steal Away (To Jesus) Lyrics
(steal away) Steal away
(steal away) Steal away
(steal away) Oh, Lord, oh
Steal away to Jesus
Steal away (steal away)
Steal away (steal away home)
I haven't got long (I haven't got long)
To stay here (to stay here)
Steal away (steal away) steal away
(steal away) Steal away
(steal away) Hallelujah
(Steal away to Jesus)
(steal away) Steal away, steal away
Steal away home (steal away home)
I haven't got long ...
I haven't got long to stay here
My Lord, my Lord, He calls me (calls me)
He calls me by the thunder (thunder)
The trumpet sounds way down in my sanctified soul
I haven't got long to stay here
Green trees are bending (are bending)
Sinners stand a-trembling (a-trembling)
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I haven't got long to stay here
Steal away
(steal away) In the midnight hour
(steal away) When you need some power
(steal away) When you heart is heavy
(steal away to Jesus) Steal away to Jesus
(steal away) Steal away, steal away
Steal away home (steal away home)
Haven't got long
(I haven't got long)
To stay here (to stay here)
My Lord, He calls me, yes, He does (calls me)
I can hear him calling me by the lightning (lightning)
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I haven't got long to stay here
It's gonna be over after a while
(steal away to Jesus) You won't have to cry no more
Oh oh oh ooh oh
(steal away) When your heart
(steal away, steal away home) Gets heavy sometimes
Yes, it is
(steal away to Jesus)
I haven't got long
(I haven't got long to stay here) You haven't got long, they haven't got along
To stay here, stay here
(I haven't got long to stay here) Hallelujah, steal away
(I haven't got long to stay here)
Oh, Lord
To say here
