Elijah
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
It's okay to be lonely as long as you're free
Sometimes my ground was stoney
Sometimes covered up with thorns
And only You could make it what it had to be
And now that it's done
If they dressed me like a pauper
Or if they dined me like a prince
If they lay me with my fathers
Or my ashes scatter on the wind
I don't care
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
But 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 the things you have here
So on this 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 (talking)
They say they're worried about my soul (my soul)
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking (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
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 (say goodbye)
No, it's not gonna break my heart to say goodbye
Goodbye
