You might be a CEO, with a desk a mile wide.
You might be a janitor, sweepin’ floors late at night.
Listen to me brother, I know you got a plan,
You might think it’s perfect, but you got to understand…
That He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Yes, He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief; like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief.
You might be a rich girl, drivin’ in a fancy car.
You might be a waitress, puttin’ tips in a jar.
Listen to me sister, I know you got a plan,
You might think it’s perfect, but you got to understand…
That He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Yes, He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief; like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief.
It's true your work may bring you, power, praise, and wealth;
and you might just be tempted, to try and keep it for yourself.
What good's it gonna do you, if tomorrow never comes?
‘Cause only He can save your place, in His eternal home.
Listen to me people, I know you got a plan,
You might think it’s perfect, but you got to understand…
That He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Yes, He comes just like a thief, like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief; like a thief in the night.
Like a thief, like a thief.
Don't get caught up in this world, all your plans won't save your life.
‘Cause His day will surely come, as a thief comes in the night.
Like a thief comes in the night, like a thief in the night.
