Elijah Lyrics

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 stony 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 I have ever found
But the Jordan is waiting Though I ain't never seen the other side 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
But 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
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
Join this way to me Join this way to Him Bye bye
