Elijah - Anne Murray

I have no fancy sermon

Just a plain and a simple song

That you can play in the key of 'A'

If you’d like to sing along

It’s all about the way things are

And not the way things might have been

You can be ridin' in the hurricane’s eye

And still have peace within!

I live for my own pleasure

I was a leader of the blind

A passenger on the road to fame

I was a legend in my mind

Ah, but when the truth came to me

Well I sadly did confess

With just a pile of rags before God’s eyes

In my righteousness

Elijah was a man

Just like you

Sometimes happy

Sometimes blue

He was a little bit impatient

But he somehow knew

If he waited on the Lord

He would surely come through!

Well I nearly searched this whole world over

Just to find me a place of rest

Where I could be myself and do

All of the things that I love best!

Like a black sheep a wandering

Or a rebel in retreat

Never found contentment children

'Til I fell at the Shephard’s feet!

Elijah was a man

Just like you

Sometimes happy

Sometimes blue

He was a little bit impatient

But he somehow knew

If he waited on the Lord

He would surely come through!

Elijah was a man

Just like you

Sometimes happy

Sometimes blue

He was a little bit impatient

But he somehow knew

If he waited on the Lord

He would surely come through!

Whoa-a Elijah was a man

Just like you

Sometimes happy

Sometimes blue

He was a little bit impatient

But he somehow knew

If he waited on the Lord

He would surely come through!

Elijah was a man

Just like you

Sometimes happy

Sometimes blue

He was a little bit impatient

But he somehow knew

If he waited on the Lord

He would surely come through!
