Steal At Any Price
(Rich Mullins & Wayne Kirkpatrick)
from the album Pictures in the Sky
He sees a frozen shadow
Cold in the neon flash
He sees the ghost of a chance in her eyes
He longs to take her away
To a place where love can last
Without all these memories
Of all the emptier loves in her life
'Cause He knows how bad it can get
And He sees her lose
Though she pays her dues
She still winds up in debt
And the night cracks
Like a whip in her heart
She looks into the light
He takes her out of the darkness
He's a thief in the night
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys
Please believe me when I
When I tell you His love
Is a steal at any price
He sees a broken bottle
There in a young boy's hand
It's full of the anger
That's cut him so deep
He longs to take him in
And show He understands
And give him something that's more than
A promise that no one will keep
'Cause He knows how bad it can hurt
When you try and you try
'Til you don't know why
'Cause you still find that nothing works
And his heart cracks
Like a whip in the night
He takes him out of the darkness
And into the light
And He's a thief in the night
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys
Please believe me when I
When I tell you His love
Is a steal at any price
He's a thief in the night
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys
Please believe me when I
When I tell you His love
Is a steal at any price
He's a thief in the night
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys
Please believe me when I
When I tell you His love
Is a steal at any price
He's a thief in the night
