Lyrics

steal away, steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)
Hm, steal away, steal away, steal away
Steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay

My Lord he calls me, he calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay
Steal , steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)

Green trees bending
Poor man, he stands trembling
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay
Steal , steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)
