Thief In The Night – Just Before the Helpers Come

He’s coming like a thief like a thief in the night
Just before the break of dawning day
He’s coming like a thief like a thief in the night
He’s going to steal back the way

He’s coming like a thief like a thief in the night
Like Robin Hood he”ll be stealing for the poor
Turning master keys to eternal delights
Everyone will know why he’s called the Door

Hurt not the earth I heard John the Revelator’s angel say
He’s coming like a thief in the night to steal back the way
Hurt not the earth and we may only have heaven to pay
He’s coming like a thief in the night like a thief in the night

He’ll come when we feel like the night will never end
Like there’s nothing more that we could pray
He’ll come like a thief though for the earth her friend
And steal back the way and sacred ways

Hurt not the earth I heard John the Revelator’s angel say
He’s coming like a thief in the night to steal back the way
Hurt not the earth and we may only have heaven to pay
Hurt not the earth Hurt not the earth Hurt not the earth Hurt not the earth
Hurt not Mother Earth and we may only have Heaven to pay

He’s coming like a thief like a thief in the night
Turning swords to ploughshares and the mighty to pray
He’ll come in the heart held holy in the light
To guide us as we would be guided through that night to that Day
Hurt not the earth and we may only have Heaven to pay
Hurt not the Earth Hurt not the Earth Hurt not the Earth Hurt not the Earth
Hurt not the Earth and we may only have Heaven to pay
He’s going to steal back the way and sacred ways
Hurt not Mother Earth and we may only have Heaven to pay
He’s coming like a thief like a thief in the night
Just before the break of dawning day
