Elijah flees to Beersheba after Jezebel’s threat, journeys forty days to Horeb, and hears the LORD in a still small voice rather than wind, earthquake, or fire.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
It is enough Now O LORD take away my life For I am not better than my fathers
He lay down and slept under a juniper tree And behold an angel touched him And said to him arise and eat There was at his head a cake baked on the coals
He ate and drank and lay down again The LORD’s angel came again the second time And touched him and said Arise and eat because the journey is too great for you
He went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights To Horeb God’s Mountain He came to a cave there and camped there And behold the LORD’s word came to him
What are you doing here Elijah I have been very jealous for the LORD The children of Israel have forsaken your covenant Thrown down your altars and killed your prophets
Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD Behold the LORD passed by And a great and strong wind tore the mountains But the LORD was not in the wind
After the wind there was an earthquake But the LORD was not in the earthquake After the earthquake a fire passed But the LORD was not in the fire
After the fire there was a still small voice When Elijah heard it he wrapped his face in his mantle And went out and stood in the entrance of the cave Behold a voice came to him
What are you doing here Elijah I am very jealous for the LORD Go return on your way
