Leviticus

Elijah On Carmel

Leviticus


The king of Israel had abandoned 
The Lord's commands 
And had followed the baals 
And the Queen had killed the prophets of the Lord 
And she lived with the prophets of baal 
Just one of the Lords prophets was left 
And that was Elijah 
A true prophet from God 
He went before the people and said: 

How long will you waver between - two opinions? 
How long will you stand on both sides? 

I'm the only one of the Lords prophets 
But baal has four hundred and fifty 
Get two bulls, let them choose 
One for them and one for me 
Let them cut in pieces and put it on the wood 
But not set fire on it 
I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood 
But not set fire on it 

Then you call on the name of your god 
And I will call on the 
Name of the Lord 
The god who answers by fire he is God, he is the Lord 
The baals prophets began 
And they called on baal from morning till noon 
They shout louder and louder and louder 
And they get no answer, no 

Elijah arranged the wood, cut the bull 
And laid it on the wood 
Fill four large jars with water 
And pour it on the offering and the wood 
Do it again, do it a third time 
Let it be known today that You are God 
The fire of the Lord fell 
And burned up everything
