Thief in the Night

In a world that is growing so dark
By the presence of pain
There is a light, burning so bright
Leading the way home again

And the footsteps we follow will lead
To the one we are longing to see
Walking beside us
The Spirit will guide us

Stand firm be strong
He is risen
And our hope will not die
When we close our eyes
So hold on
Keep watch for His returning
He will come like a thief in the night
Stealing us home to His side

In a world that is shouting so loud
Still one voice is clear
And it speaks to our hearts
With a word we cannot help but hear

And the voice of the one calls us on
The narrow path we move along
Walking beside us
Oh the Spirit will guide us

Stand firm be strong
He is risen
And our hope will not die
When we close our eyes
So hold on
Keep watch for His returning
He will come like a thief in the night
Stealing us home to His side

Hear now, make your decision
Follow, don't turn away
There's no time to be wasting
Jesus is waiting (Jesus is waiting)
Jesus is waiting

Calling us on to
Stand firm be strong
He is risen
And our hope
Will not die
When we close our eyes
So hold on
Keep watch for His returning
He will come like a thief
He will come like a thief
He will come like a thief in the night
Stealing us home to His side
Stealing us home to His side
