Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Satan is a liar and a conjure too
If you don’t watch out
He’ll conjure you
If I could I sho’ly would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Ezekiel said he saw him
Wheel in the mid' of a wheel
John talked about him
In the book of the 7 seals
Some say the Rose of Sharon
Others say the Prince of Peace
But I can tell everybody
He been a rock and a shelter for me Hallelujah
You can call my rock in the morning
Call him late at night
He’s always with me And all my battles he’ll fight
When I’m in trouble
I can call him on the line
He put a telephone in my heart
And I can call God anytime
Hallelujah
Man I got to sing this in both high school and college choir. My college music professor, the incomparable Gene Nichols, I am sure Would have had this recording! For half a second I wondered just now why he didn't show it to us, then I think yup, I was dangerously loud and off on my own tangents as was, this would have made me truly dangerous! All the glory to God in thanks such a treasure was sent to show us how to praise Him.
This brings back memories of my grandmother and mother cooking Sun. dinner. When this came on, we all would sing as loud as we could. Even as a child I recognized this as a beautiful song, sung by gospels BEST ever songstress.
Love her voice and how she puts her whole heart into it. Incomparable unique style. She believes in and relates to all the lyrics. No equal. Her phrasing so inspired she makes you feel every word
