Kenny Price - Steal Away lyrics
Steal away steal away steal away to Jesus steal away steal away home I ain't got long to stay here I was walkin' into Savannah passed the church decayed and dim And there's slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn A sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew Till I found myself environed in a little negro pew Down front sat a young couple nearly wild On the altar was a coffin and in the coffin was a child Row of sad old negro preacher at a little wooden desk With a manner grandly offered with the countless grotesque And he said now don't you be weepin' for this pretty bitty clay For the little boy who lived there he's done gone and run away And he's doin' very finly and he appreaciated your love But he's sure enough father want him in the large house up above Now he didn't give you that baby not by a hundred thousand miles He just think you need some sunshine he lend him for awhile And he let you love and keep till your hearts were bigger grown And those silver tears you've shed they're just interest on the lawn So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest And don't go criticize no one that knows the best He gave us many comforts and he has the right to take away To the Lord be praised in glory now and forever let us pray My Lord calls me he calls me by the thunder the trumpets sound within my soul I ain't got long to stay here I'm gonna steal away home |
