《Steal Away(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Steal Away - George Morgan

[00:00:01] Steal away steal away steal away to Jesus

[00:00:19] Steal away steal away home

[00:00:31] I ain't got long to stay here

[00:00:40] I was walkin in Savannah past a church decayed and dim

[00:00:51] And there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn

[00:00:59] A sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew

[00:01:05] Till I found myself environed in a little Negro pew

[00:01:11] Down front sat a young couple nearly wild

[00:01:17] On the altar was a coffin in the coffin was a child

[00:01:25] Rose a sad old Negro preacher at a little wooden desk

[00:01:30] With a manner grandly awkward and a countenance grotesque

[00:01:37] And he said "Now don't be weepin for this pretty bit of clay

[00:01:46] For the little boy who lived there has done gone and run away

[00:01:54] And he's doin very finely and he appreciates your love

[00:02:01] But his sure nuff Father want him in the large house above

[00:02:09] Now He didn't give you that baby for a hundred thousand miles

[00:02:15] He just think you need some sunshine and He lent him for awhile

[00:02:24] And He let you love and keep him till your hearts were bigger grown

[00:02:32] And those silver tears you're sheddin are just interest on the loan

[00:02:43] So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest

[00:02:48] And don't go criticizin the one that knows the best

[00:02:54] He gave us many comforts He has the right to take away

[00:03:02] To the Lord be praise and glory now and ever let us pray

[00:03:11] My Lord calls me He calls me by the thunder The trumpet sounds

[00:03:26] Within my soul

[00:03:30] I ain't got long to stay here
