 Struggling with Elijah? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

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 stony 
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 
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye 

'Cause 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
