Conway Twitty - Steal Away lyrics
(Conway Twitty) Steal away, steal away Steal away to Jesus Steal away, steal away Home I ain't got long to stay here. I was walkin' in Savanah Past a church decayed and dimmed When there slowly through the window Came a plaintive funeral hymn. And a sympathy awakened And a wonder quickly grew 'Til I found myself enstrewed In a little negro pew. Our in front a young couple sat In sorrow near the wild On the altar was a coffin In the coffin was a child. Rose a sad old negro preacher At a wooden desk With a manly grandly offer And of countless protest. And he said: Now don't you be a-weepin' For this pretty little play For a little boy who lived there Why he had up and ran away. But he's doing very fine And he appreciates your love But he's sure not farther wanted In that large house up above. Now, He didn't give you that baby No, not by a hundred thousand miles He just thought you needed some sunshine And he lended him to ya for awhile. And He let ya love and keep him 'Til your hearts were big and grown And these silver tears that your sheddin' Why they're just interest on the loan. So, my poor dejected mourners Let your hearts with Jesus rest And don't go criticisin' The one that knows the best. He gives us many comforts And He has the right to take away To the Lord be praised in glory Now and ever let us pray. My Lord calls me He calls me by the thunder The trumpet sounds within my soul I ain't got long to stay here... |
