Stealing In The Name Of Jah - Max Romeo, The Upsetters

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
