Elijah (Voice of the Lord) By Julie Hufstetler, copyright 2004 Elijah was a man of God with a bounty on His head Queen Jezebel was angry for the words the prophet said And running for his life, he begged the Lord to let him die The Lord said eat, and drink, and sleep And recover from this strife Strengthened then Elijah traveled 40 days and nights To the mountain where the Lord said, “Soon I will pass by”. The wind blew strong and the earth shook hard And the heat of fire burned But the presence of the Lord was not in these, Elijah learned It’s not in the wind It’s not in the trembling of the earth It’s not in the crackling of the flames in the fire But He speaks in a still, small voice He speaks in the quiet hour Be still and hear the voice of the Lord |
The elements blow and shake and sear at God command The One who wants to lead us with His strong and mighty hand He speaks in tones of love and mercy as He draws us near Wait and listen calmly for in stillness we can hear Be still my soul Lord speak to me Be still my soul I’m listening Be still my soul Lord, speak to me It’s not in the wind It’s not in the trembling of the earth It’s not in the crackling of the flames in the fire But He speaks in a still, small voice He speaks in the quiet hour Be still and hear the voice of the Lord |
