I’ve got a secret to tell
A midnight confession
I love the life that I lead
But it’s no obsession

Because I’m waiting, anticipating
Watching for Your return
You’ll come and get me
You know I’m ready
Enjoyed my stay, but You’ll steal me away

CHORUS
Like a thief in the night
Like a runaway train
Like a first class, lightning fast hurricane
I’ll keep my ear to the ground
And my eyes to the sky
I’m ready now but somehow
I know You’ll take me by surprise

So I’ll keep spreading the word
To everybody
Until the masses have heard
About that party

Because I’m waiting, anticipating
Watching for Your return
You’ll come and get me
You know I’m ready
Enjoyed my stay, but You’ll steal me away

CHORUS

Cause I R.S.V.P.’d on the invitation
I sent it care of the blood
That saved me the spot
With the One who will come

CHORUS
