Story behind the song
This song was written during the late 80's and recorded in 1990 at a time when the world was really changing fast as we approached a new era and millennium! I felt the need to sound the alarm to the world to prepare for the soon return of Christ as we watched prophesy unfold before our very eyes on a daily basis. This song was actually going to be on the 2nd "Fire Power" album... My group that was formed in 1981. However, while we were recording in the studio, and half way through the album, we disbanded and went our separate ways! So i decided to put all of my songs on an (EP) as my first solo project, but i was never able to finish it. So what you hear today is an unfinished project that was in the making! That's why i decided to call the (EP album) "Unfinished Business"... What you hear is the Pre-mix, not the final mix! I felt really good about this (EP) album that never got finished. The songs were very special and different from the 1885 album we recored. You can hear the classic late 80's style of music with the busy drum track. After all these years i decided to take it off of the shelf and let the world hear some of my early unfinished work that had great potential, if it had been finished! I'm thinking seriously about completing these songs if i can locate the original master tape! If not, the unfinished version of those songs will have to do. They may not be up to todays digital standards but they still sound good and they carry a powerful message! "Comin Like A Thief" is meant to ENCOURAGE THE SAINTS AND WARN THE SINNERS OF CHRIST'S IMMINENT RETURN! I love this song because of it's biblical lyrical content! There is no greater news than the words in this song... "He's Comin Like A Thief"
