The Bible tells about the prophet Elijah and his story When his work on earth was done God took him to glory Other prophets of old were instruments in God's hands They brought God's words to people in many lands
A prophet marches to the sound of God's voice The message he brings causes many to rejoice He is often misunderstood and abused by scorners And is often seen in the company of mourners
Sometimes he sighs and weeps over the state of affairs He often prays to God and has many burdens he bears His sleep is disturbed by divine dreams and visions He seeks God's wisdom and will when making decisions
The office of prophet is very special indeed To his words the people need to take heed The message he brings is not one of his own But the words are from God who is on his throne
The Lord still has prophets like those men of old They are filled with the spirit and are very bold The Lord has said do my prophets no harm Listen to their words as they sound the alarm
Jesus Christ is coming back and very soon The sun and stars will change so will the moon Be prepared to meet your maker this I do say It may be your time to die this very day
