Elijah made a sacrifice
To offer to Jehovah;
It had been wet with water thrice,
Baal’s sacrifice was over.
Elijah prayed: the fire came down
And licked the water all around;
So doubting ones believed, and found
Elijah’s God was living.
Refrain:
Elijah’s God still lives today,
To take the guilt of sin away;
And when I pray my heart’s desire,
Upon my soul He sends the fire.
Elijah’s God still lives today,
And answers still by fire;
My friend, just let Him have His way;
He’ll grant your heart’s desire,
Consume the sacrifice you make;
And bid your slumb’ring soul awake;
The chain of inbred sin will break;
Elijah’s God is living.
Elijah’s God still lives today,
And answers still in power,
As when Elijah prayed for rain,
God answered with a shower.
If you would have your soul refreshed,
With rain that falls from heaven,
You must pray thro’ like all the rest,
And showers shall be given.
