i think wootrippy is pretty much on the money although not necessarily an immigrant. for the record it doesn't say 'the stealing' it says 'the spirit' aka the holy spirit.
alternatively to the immigrant idea it could just be a guy wanting a holiday so he wanders into a church and takes the offering.
immigrant or holidayer the point of the song is that the man is trying to justify his act of theft by saying 'hey, it's like they knew where the money was going anyway, my cause is far more worthy and besides, the holy spirit is telling me to go to away'
