Rich Mullins - Elijah Lyrics

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
