Rich Mullins - Elijah Lyrics
The Jordan is waiting for me to cross throughMy heart is aging I can tellSo Lord, I'm begging for one last favor from YouHere's my heart take it where You willThis life has shown me how we're mended and how we're tornHow it's okay to be lonely as long as you're freeSometimes my ground was stoneyAnd sometimes covered up with thornsAnd only You could make it what it had to beAnd now that it's doneWell if they dressed me like a pauperOr if they dined me like a princeIf they lay me with my fathersOr if my ashes scatter on the windI don't careBut when I leave I want to go out like ElijahWith a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fireAnd when I look back on the starsIt'll be like a candlelight in Central ParkAnd it won't break my heart to say goodbyeThere's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friendsSometimes this has bent me to the groundNow that this is all endingI want to hear some music once again'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever foundBut the Jordan is waitingThough I ain't never seen the other sideStill they say you can't take in the things you have hereSo on the road to salvationI stick out my thumb and He gives me a rideAnd His music is already falling on my earsThere's people been talkingThey say they're worried about my soulWell, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking'Til I'm sure it's my time to rollAnd when I doWhen I leave I want to go out like ElijahWith a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fireAnd when I look back on the starsIt'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
