The Thief In the Night
THE THIEF IN THE NIGHT When the desert sun melted away The armour I wore for protection, Leaving me free to find my oasis Of unalloyed pleasure, offered Without stultifying conditions, I no longer looked back, anxious Of retaliatory strike on my spirit, And in that momentary flash, knew There would be no comeback From any hypocritical source Of self-righteousness. Needing no filter through...

Thief in the night that stole my heart Shot me with your poisoned dart Took from me against my will Be careful of that which you steal Why do you have to be so obtuse? Do you really think I like the abuse? Dangling your promises on a thin straw Promises broken there should be a law Bragging about what you once had But...

Leaping out of bed, I tripped on my tender thoughts of you As I fled the room searching for the intruder. Room to room, floor to floor, I searched...

Sorrow paid me a visit like a thief in the night, Stealing my happiness with sinister delight. He replaced it with pain before my very eyes. My lover now I did not even recognize. Until then he was the man of my dreams. When he saw me coming, he would just beam. I was so in love with him, I was...

An Englishman's home is his castle, A place that's inviting to...

Like a thief in the night the Lord will come, calling His people, His children home. Many folk will be raised up on high, to that heavenly Paradise up in the skies. Yet woe to all you who have left it to late, by not trusting God but relying on fate! Fate is disastrous for those without trust; believing in Jesus is...
