God Of Elijah

(album: By God - 2001)

Bring on the show down
How long will you waver between two opinions
If the Lord is God then follow Him
But if Baal is god then follow him
There are 450 prophets of Baal and just one of me
So it should be no problem to get his attention
And show everyone here today
That if he's the real god
He'll have to send fire down
So they began to shout, run around, cut themselves
Baal made no reply, so Elijah cried
Maybe he's sleeping, or busy or traveling
Or using the bathroom, or deeply thinking
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down [2x]

God of Elijah
So Elijah took twelve stones
Representing the twelve tribes
And built an altar of sacrifice
And dug up a trench and cut up a bull
And placed it on the wood
And poured four jars of water all around
He said do it again and then do it a third
Until the whole sacrifice had been soaked down
Water rolled out of the trenches, and Elijah prayed
Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn their hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall and burn it all
Let it rain down

God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down [2x]

God of Elijah, God of Elijah

Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn our hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall, burn it all
Let it rain down

God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down [2x]

God of Elijah, God of Elijah
