Children in the dark
Searching all around
Hidden in your spots
Suddenly you're found

This is the game we used to play
But there are higher stakes these days

Like a thief in the night
In the place where you hide
He will come like a thief in the night

Like a thief in the night
He will come for his bride
He will come like a thief in the night

Where is Jesus now?
Ask the man of learning
He will never show
Logic won't allow him

These are the things that people say
What words will they use that day?

Like a thief in the night
In the place where you hide
He will come like a thief in the night

Like a thief in the night
He will come for his bride
He will come like a thief in the night

And when He's here He'll shout
Erasing every doubt and then we'll cry out
Save us, save us, save us

Like a thief in the night
In the place where you hide
He will come like a thief in the night

Like a thief in the night
He will come for his bride
He will come like a thief in the night
