The God of Elijah is living today.

The God who answers by fire,
The God who answers by fire;
His promise still He will fulfill,
And He will answer by fire,

His promise is still He will fulfill,
And He will answer by fire.

You need light to shine on each step of your way,
The God of Elijah is living today. [Refrain]

Needs strength to march forward to victories now;

The world unbelieving may mockingly say;
But we who have called on His glorious name
Know well that He liveth, forever the same. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O pray, for the Father is ready to hear]
