Elijah lyrics

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
