By Surprise

I've got a secrect to tell,
A midnight confession.
I'd love a life that I'd lead,
But it's no obsession,
Because I'm waiting, anticipating
watching for your return
you'll come and get me
you know I'm ready
enjoy my stay,cuz you'll take me away
Like a thief in the night
like a runaway train
like a first class lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise
So I'll keep spreading the word to everybody
Until the masses have heard,about this party
Because i'm waiting anticipating
watching for your return
you'll come and get me
you know I'm ready
Enjoy my stay cuz you'll take me away
Like a thief in the night
like a runaway train
like a first class, lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I'm ready now but some how I know you'll take me by surprise
I R.SV.P.'d on the invitation
I sent it care of the blood
That saved me on the spot
Of the One who will come
Like a thief in the night
like a runaway train
like a first class lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise
