Lyrics
When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal
Please wait here for the LORD has sent me As the LORD lives and as your soul lives I will not leave you So they went down to Bethel
The sons of the prophets at Bethel came out Do you know that the LORD will take away your master Yes I know it hold your peace They came to Jericho
Elijah said to him wait here for the LORD has sent me Elisha said as the LORD lives and as your soul lives I will not leave you They both went on toward the Jordan
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up and struck the waters They were divided here and there And they both went over on dry ground
Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me You have asked a hard thing If you see me when I am taken it shall be so for you
As they continued on and talked Behold a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven Elisha saw it and cried
My father my father the chariots of Israel and its horsemen He saw him no more Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha
They came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground The LORD the God of Elijah where is he The waters were divided and Elisha went over
