Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 2]
My father's house of worship
Has become a den of thieves
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 3]
They fed our mothers with sour grapes
And set our teeth on edge
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 4]
Strike the hammer of justice
And set my people free
Strike the hammer of justice
Or let my people be
[Verse 5]
They tells us of a heaven
Where milk and honey flows
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 6]
They said, "This place called heaven
The rich man cannot go"
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 7]
Yet the reverend drives a fancy car
Buys everything tax free
The people have to sacrifice
To give in charity
[Verse 8]
My father's house of worship
Has become a den of thieves
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 9]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 10]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, oh, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
Oh stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
