Elijah

Elijah, look at the man in the glass,

You've carried a burden that wasn't your own.

Watching the days and the long seasons pass,

Locked in a room made of iron and stone.

You're loyal to a fault, yeah, you give all you can,

An imperfect believer, but a steadfast man.

So hold on, Elijah, keep walking the line,

The Lord sees the truth when the world's going blind.

They can lock up the body, but the spirit flies free,

God's got you now, like He promised He'd be.

Stay faithful, stay strong through the fire and the flood,

You're bought and you're covered by Calvary's blood.

The gavel came down on a story untrue,

And time slipped away through the bars on the door.

But Jesus was walking the cell block with you,

Pacing beside you across the cold floor.

You stumble sometimes, you've got flaws like us all,

But you never stopped answering heaven's sweet call.

So hold on, Elijah, keep walking the line,

The Lord sees the truth when the world's going blind.

They can lock up the body, but the spirit flies free,

God's got you now, like He promised He'd be.

Stay faithful, stay strong through the fire and the flood,

You're bought and you're covered by Calvary's blood.

It's a heavy old cross when your loyalty costs,

And you're counting the years and the time that was lost.

But lift up your eyes to the heavens above,

No iron can keep out the Savior's great love.

So hold on, Elijah, keep walking the line,

The Lord sees the truth when the world's going blind.

They can lock up the body, but the spirit flies free,

God's got you now, like He promised He'd be.

Stay faithful, stay strong through the fire and the flood,

You're bought and you're covered by Calvary's blood.

Yeah, God's got you, Elijah, just rest in His love.
