MP3: Steal Away

Steal Away - Song History
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
January 28, 2013

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about God’s ability to suspend time.
In Joshua’s day He caused the universe to stand still.
Has anything changed in HIs ability to do so?
I began asking Him to take the small portions of
the day when I have brief times to spend with Him
and multiply His presence. In other words, in a
five minute window of time, refresh and restore as if I had
just spent hours in rest or asleep. He is faithful
to meet with us in our daily rush and hectic
schedules. This song is meant to be a catalyst
to help us get away from it all - even when we
can’t physically do so!

Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day
when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before
the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

"O sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon."

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the
sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not
hasten to go down for about a whole day.
There was no day like that before it or after it,
when the LORD listened to the voice of a man;
for the LORD fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:12-14 NASB

Verse
If I could steal away
And ride the wings of the wind
If I could steal away
Just every now and then

That would be sweet
That would be wonderful
That would be overwhelming joy to me!

If I could steal away
Into a most secret place
If I could steal away
Be gone without a trace

That would be sweet
That would be wonderful
That would be overwhelming joy to me!

Chorus
In Your presence
I can steal away!
In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

Where You conquer any mountain
Where You calm the raging sea
Where You wrap Your arms around me
Though imprisoned, I am free!

In Your presence
I can steal away!
In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

I can steal away!
I can steal away with You!

Verse
If I could steal away
And get away for just awhile
If I could steal away
In awestruck wonder like a child

That would be sweet
That would be wonderful
That would be overwhelming joy to me!

If I could steal away
Condensing hours to one breath
If I could steal away
And no one even know I'd left.

That would be sweet
That would be wonderful
That would be overwhelming joy to me!

Chorus
In Your presence
I can steal away!
In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

Where You conquer any mountain
Where You calm the raging sea
Where You wrap Your arms around me
Though imprisoned, I am free!

In Your presence
I can steal away!
In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

I can steal away!
I can steal away with You!

Chorus
In Your presence
I can steal away!

In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

Where You conquer any mountain
Where You calm the raging sea
Where You wrap Your arms around me
Though imprisoned, I am free!

In Your presence
I can steal away!
In Your presence!
Any time, night or day!

I can steal away!
I can steal away with You!

Verse
If I could steal away
And ride the wings of the wind
If I could steal away
Just every now and then

That would be sweet
That would be wonderful
That would be overwhelming joy to me!

If I could steal away...
