Bring on the showdown
How long will you waver between two opinions
If the Lord is God (then follow him),
but if Baal is god (then follow him).
There are 450 prophets of Baal and just one of me
So it should be no problem to get his attention,
And show everyone here today
That if he’s the real god, he’ll have to send fire down.
So they began to shout, run around, cut themselves.
Baal made no reply, so Elijah cried
Maybe he’s sleeping, or busy, or travelling,
or using the bathroom, or deeply thinking.
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down.
God of Elijah
So Elijah took twelve stones representing
the 12 tribes and built an altar of sacrifice,
And dug up a trench, and cut up a bull,
and placed it on the wood,
And poured four jars of water all around.
He said do it again, and then do it a third time,
Until the whole sacrifice had been soaked down,
Water poured out from the trenches.
Then Elijah prayed,
Lord God of Israel let it be known today that you are God,
I pray you answer and turn their hearts back to you again,
Let the fire fall, and burn it all.
Let it rain down.
God of Elijah, send your fire.
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down.
God of Elijah.
Lord God of Elijah let it be known today that you are God,
I pray you answer and turn their hearts back to you again,
Let the fire fall, and burn it all.
Let it rain down.
God of Elijah, send your fire.
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down.
God of Elijah, send your fire.
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down.
God of Elijah.
