Elijah lyrics

Artist  : Rich Mullins 
Song : Elijah



 Send "Elijah" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

The Jordan is waiting for me to cross
through
My heart is aging I can tell
So
Lord, I'm begging for one last favor from
You
Here's my heart take it where You
will

This life has shown me how we're
mended and how we're torn
How it's okay to be
lonely as long as you're free
Sometimes my
ground was stoney
And sometimes covered up
with thorns
And only You could make it what it
had to be
And now that it's done
Well if
they dressed me like a pauper
Or if they dined
me like a prince
If they lay me with my
fathers
Or if my ashes scatter on the
wind
I don't care

But when I leave I
want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to
fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on
the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in
Central Park
And it won't break my heart to
say goodbye

There's people been friendly,
but they'd never be your friends
Sometimes
this has bent me to the ground
Now that this
is all ending
I want to hear some music once
again
'Cause it's the finest thing that I have
ever found

But the Jordan is
waiting
Though I ain't never seen the other
side
Still they say you can't take in the
things you have here
So on the road to
salvation
I stick out my thumb and He gives me
a ride
And His music is already falling on my
ears

There's people been talking
They
say they're worried about my soul
Well, I'm
here to tell you I'll keep rocking
'Til I'm
sure it's my time to roll
And when I
do

When I leave I want to go out like
Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of
fire
And when I look back on the
stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central
Park
And it won't break my heart to say
goodbye

'Cause when I leave I want to go
out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my
chariot of fire
And when I look back on the
stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central
Park
And it won't break my heart to say
goodbye
