[Intro: John P. Kee]
I know this is a big city but I want you to clap your hands like you're from North Carolina; like you're from Durham, North Carolina. Come on!

[Verse: New Life Community Choir & (John P. Kee)]
(Whoa I'm living this) I'm living this life just to live again
(And with the Lord) And with the Lord I know that I shall reign
(I shall not stray) I shall not stray
(Hallelujah) With Him I'll stay
(He will) He'll welcome His children home one day

(I'm living this life) I'm living this life just to live again
(And with the Lord, hey) And with the Lord I know that I shall reign
(I shall not stray) I shall not stray
(Hey, good God Almighty) With Him I'll stay
(Hallelujah) He'll welcome His children home one day

[Chorus: NLCC & (John P. Kee)]
(Like a thief in the night) Like a thief in the night He shall return for me
(He shall return for me)
That's the day that He'll come and fly away you'll see
(That's the day that He'll come and fly away you'll see)
Jesus will welcome me home
(He'll welcome me home)
