Flood The Altar Songtext
von Brian Free & Assurance

High upon the mountain top, the altar was prepared
The pagan prophets said their god would show his power there
He offered up their sacrifice, and called upon his name
But though they prayed to him all day, the fire never came

Then Elijah stood before another sacrifice
People carried water there to pour upon it twice
And when the altar and the wood were flooded once again
God sent the fire to prove that they should worship only Him

Sometimes you have to flood the altar before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice, to see your hearts′ desire
Amazing things can happen if you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar before he sends the fire


God knew that the people needed morning rain that day (morning rain that day)
They had to learn that there was only one God to obey
He demanded water in the middle of a drought
That He would meet their needs if they would pour the water out

Sometimes you have to flood the altar before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice, to see your hearts' desire
Amazing things can happen if you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar

Well, you may have to flood the altar before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice to see your heart′s desire
Amazing things can happen if you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar before he sends the fire

Amazing things can happen if you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar before he sends the fire
