Leeland's song 'Thief In The Night' is a worship song about the return of Christ and the believer's longing for that day. The lyrics express gratitude for God's faithfulness despite human failure, and a desire to serve faithfully until Jesus comes to take His bride away. The title references the biblical metaphor of Christ's return coming unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. The song balances themes of God's love, personal surrender, and eager anticipation of the second coming.

Great is Your love and Your faithfulness
It's Your faithfulness that carries me
Many times I've run away
Forsook Your love and all Your grace
Still You call out my name
Yeah, You still care that I be saved
So I'll sing the glories of Your name
Your awesomeness I will proclaim
Until You come, until You come and...
Take Your bride away
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
You'll take us away
There is no one that can fill this void
Like You fill this void in my heart
My life is just a human one
But You pick me up and call me son
Speak, Lord, I am listening
Yes, Your child will serve faithfully
Like a thief in the night
