Chorus: 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 sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!
Chorus
My Lord calls me!
He calls me by the lighting!
The trumpet sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!
Chorus.
