Steal away, Steal away, Steal away to Jesus,
Steal away, Steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here.
My Lord calls me, He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul. I ain't got long to stay here.
My Lord calls me, He calls me by the lightning.
The trumpet sounds within my soul. I ain't got long to stay here.
