The Bible tells about the prophet Elijah and his storyWhen his work on earth was done God took him to gloryOther prophets of old were instruments in God's handsThey brought God's words to people in many lands
A prophet marches to the sound of God's voiceThe message he brings causes many to rejoiceHe is often misunderstood and abused by scornersAnd is often seen in the company of mourners
Sometimes he sighs and weeps over the state of affairsHe often prays to God and has many burdens he bearsHis sleep is disturbed by divine dreams and visionsHe seeks God's wisdom and will when making decisions
The office of prophet is very special indeedTo his words the people need to take heedThe message he brings is not one of his ownBut the words are from God who is on his throne
The Lord still has prophets like those men of oldThey are filled with the spirit and are very boldThe Lord has said do my prophets no harmListen to their words as they sound the alarm
Jesus Christ is coming back and very soonThe sun and stars will change so will the moonBe prepared to meet your maker this I do sayIt may be your time to die this very day
