i wrote this song "a thief in the night" in 1991 during the gulf war i had no problem with any of the lyrics it all came to me very quickly and easy then 15 years later the lord allowed it to be recorded in a music studio (johns recording studio in russellville ar.)it is being played on local radio(karv)and i hope it blesses everyone who hears it.
