Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Way back when the world was full of sin
(Elijah Rock--shout, shout!)
There was one good man, like there's always been
(Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!)
His name was Elijah and I heard it said
(Elijah Rock--shout, shout!)
He could heal the sick and raise the dead
(Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!)
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah told everybody to pray
To a God up in Heaven not a god of clay
Went to the rock and he cried his name
Told him what to do when the Judgement came
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Prayed for the Lord to give him a sign
And the Rock cried out, "Well, it's Judgement time."
Lord spoke out with a tongue of flame
Sayin', "Hear, Elijah, and know my name."
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Well, then the Lord told Elijah when his time had come
(Elijah Rock--shout, shout!)
Said he was a prophet for what he'd done
(Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!)
Rock cried out and said, "Shout, shout!"
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
(soft)
Elijah Rock--shout, shout!
Said, Elijah Rock, comin' up, Lord!
