Steal Away to Jesus Lyrics
Refrain:
Steal away, steal away,
steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home,
I ain’t got long to stay here.
1 My Lord, He calls me,
He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
2 Green trees are bending,
Poor sinners stand a trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
3 My Lord, He calls me,
He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
Steal Away to Jesus Hymn Story
“Steal Away to Jesus” is a Christian African American spiritual.
This song discusses the need to find time to be with Jesus now on earth and in the future when he takes us to heaven.
But before we go to heaven, we need to start finding time, quality time, with Jesus through communicating with him through prayer and reading his word.
Just as you cannot say you are in love with someone without spending time with them, the same applies to our relationship with Christ.
If we want our relationship with God to work, we need to “steal away to Jesus” every day.
