Elijah Chords by Rich Mullins

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ Jordan is waiting for me to cross through.
[G] My heart is aging, I [D] can't tell. _ _
So Lord, I'm begging for one last favor [E] from you.
[C] Here's my heart, take it where you [D] will. _ _ _
This life has shown me [E] how we're mended and how we're torn.
[C] How it's okay to be lonely as long [D] as you're free. _ _
Sometimes my ground was stony, [E] sometimes covered up in thorns.
[G] But only you can make what it had [D] to be.
And now that it's [Am] done, well if they treat me like a pauper,
[C] well if they dine on me like [G] a prince.
[Am] If they lay [Bm] me with my fathers [C] or rip my ashes,
get [D] on the wind, I don't [G] care.
When I leave I'm gonna go out like [C] Elijah.
[D] _
[Em] With the wind to fuel my chariot [C] on fire.
[A] _
[G] And when I look back on the stars,
well it'll be like a candlelight at [Em] Central Park. _
[B] _ [C] And it won't break my heart to say [G] goodbye. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] These people have been friendly, [Em] but they'll never be a friend.
_ [C] Sometimes [Am] this has bent me to [D] the ground.
_ _ [G] And now that this is all ending, I wanna [Em] hear some music once again.
[D] Cause it's the finest thing [A] I ever [D] found.
_ [G] But the Jordan is waiting, though I [Em] ain't never seen the other [E] side.
_ [A] They say you can't take in the things [D] you have here.
_ _ [G] So when the road to salvation, I stick [Em] out my thumb and it gives me [E] right.
And [C] this music is [Am] already falling [D] out the ears.
[Am] But these people [G] been talking, they [C] say they're worried about [G] my soul.
Well [Am] I'm here to tell you I'll [B] keep rocking,
[C] till I'm sure it's my [D] time to roll.
When [G] I do, when I leave I'm gonna go out like [C] Elijah.
[D] _ [Em] With the wind to fuel [D] my chariot [C] on fire.
[Dm] And [G] when I look back on the [C] stars,
well it'll be like a candlelight at [Em] Central Park.
[A] _
[C] And it won't break [D] my heart to say [G] goodbye.
When I leave I'm gonna go out like [C] Elijah.
[D] _ [Em] With the wind to fuel my chariot on [C] fire.
_ [D] And [G] when I look back on the [C] stars,
well it'll be like a candlelight at [E] Central Park.
And it [C] won't break [D] my heart _ to say goodbye. _ _
