Elijah
Elijah
Elijah
Elijah Rock!
Elijah rock shout shout
Elijah rock comin' up Lord
Elijah rock shout shout
Elijah rock comin' up Lord
Satan ain't nothin' but a
snake in the grass
He's a conjur, he's a liar
Hallelujah, Lord.
Elijah rock shout shout
Elijah rock comin' up Lord
Elijah rock shout shout
Elijah rock comin' up Lord
If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Elijah rock, oh Elijah rock
Elijah
Elijah rock, oh Elijah rock
Elijah
Hallelujah Jesus, Hallelujah Jesus
Hallelujah Jesus, Hallelujah Jesus
Rock Elijah, Rock Elijah
Rock Elijah, Rock Elijah
Comin' up Lawdy, Comin' up Lawdy
Comin' up Lawdy, Comin' up Lawdy
Oh oh oh Elijah, Oh oh oh oh
Elijah
Oh Elijah
Elijah rock Elijah rock shout
comin' I'm comin' I'm comin' up Lord
