Stealin' In The Name Of The Lord - Thelma Houston

Yeahhh…

(ooh… stealin' in the name, stealin')

There’s a man on the corner, raisin' a congregation

Sayin' that he’s the one, brothers and sisters

That’s gonna bring us all salvation

Sayin' that he’s the one to make a way

He’s gonna do it with no hesitation

I heard him saying: «Step

(step, step)

in the line

Can you spare a dime?»

I heard him say: «Step

(step, step)

right on up

How you this evenin'?

Drop a buck»

People, I tell you what I’ve seen — a parasite is he

Ain’t much differnce in what he’s doin'

Good peopl, believe me

That’s breaking and entering, you know

That man is stealin' in the name of the Lord

Sayin' God’s gonna bless ya

Stealin' in the name of the Lord

It happens every day

This man will walk up to ya, and he’ll look ya in the eye

Huh, he’ll put his hands on your shoulder

Honey, and he’ll tell you a big fat lie

He’ll tell you that God’s gonna bless your children

If you put your faith in me

Uh-huh, if you pass the tray while the choir’s singin'

I’ll mirror my God to thee
