Elijah Songtext
von Rich Mullins

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′m gonna 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 friend
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground
Now that this is all ending
I wanna 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

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'm gonna 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'm gonna 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

Jordan is waiting
Jordan is waiting
