Stealing, stealing, stealing,
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord

My father's house of worship,
Has become a den of thieves;
Stealing in the name of the Lord

They fed our mothers with sour grapes,
And set our teeth on edge;
Stealing in the name of the Lord

Strike the hammer of justice,
And set my people free,
Strike the hammer of justice,
Or let my people be

They tell us of a heaven,
Where milk and honey flow;
Stealing in the name of the Lord

They said this place called heaven;
The rich man cannot go
Stealing in the name of the Lord

Yet the reverend drives a fancy car,
Buys everything tax-free,
The people have to sacrifice;
To give in charity

My father's house of worship,
Has become a den of thieves;
Stealing in the name of the Lord

Stealing, stealing, stealing,
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord

Stealing, stealing, stealing,
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
