Brian Douglas Phillips - Thief of the Night lyrics

I heard that hammer fall through the rain The thunder of heaven's reckoning day A beckoning chime A swallowing tide A whispering voice a-callin' my name I feel the shadows crawlin' in slow I seen the Ghost out harvestin' bones He'll sing o'er their graves And steal them away Lord, there ain't no place sweeter than home Cradle my soul, oh thief of the night Shackle my own hand safe unto thine Awaken my eyes, Lord, Severe my ties, oh Jesus, but leave my spirit behind Jesus, but leave my spirit behind Break all the chains been holdin' me down Ready them gates with pearls all around There's streets made of gold In Glory, I'm told I swear, I can see us walkin' 'em now I want to gaze on Heaven's gla** seas But, oh, how the blade cuts heavy and deep My body is tired, But I can't move my mind From this broken old land I can't bear to leave Cradle my soul, oh thief of the night Shackle my own hand safe unto thine Awaken my eyes, Lord, Severe my ties, oh Jesus, but leave my spirit behind Jesus, but leave my spirit behind Cradle my soul, oh thief of the night Shackle my own hand safe unto thine Awaken my eyes, Lord, Severe my ties, oh Jesus, but leave my spirit behind Jesus, but leave my spirit behind
