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! |

Whoa-a Elijah was a man, |

Just like you, |

He was a little bit impatient, |
