'Twas the night before Jesus returned
Evil spirits were tripping
Cause they knew they would burn
He came with such vengeance, and power and might
Only a precious few expected The Thief in the night
Most humans were living their mundane lives
Some many were marrying their brand new wives
When all of a sudden there arose in the air
A host of the deceased, the ground was nearly bare
Then disappeared the living in him
The population on earth had become mighty slim
They who were left were scared a-fright
They had no idea it was the Thief in the night
Some were missing loved ones
Many had friends who were all gone
But them that left with Him are rejoicing
For they've finally made it home
What a sad occasion for them left behind
Yet a testimony for those connected to the Vine
Oh yes it was an awesome sight
To have been a part of the coming of
The Thief in the night
