Elijah’s God Still Lives Today Lyrics
Verse 1
There was a man in olden days,
Elijah was His name,
Because the sin did so abound
He prayed and stopped the rain,
And for three years or more were told,
They never had a shower,
For God in heaven answered then,
Elijah’s prayer of power.
CHORUS
Elijah’s God still lives today
Oh blessed be His name
And when His children to Him pray
He answers still the same,
Yes He controls the universe
All things obey His word,
And when by faith we call on Him,
Our humble prayer He hears.
Verse 2
He gathered all the priests of Baal,
To call upon their god,
They cried to him the whole day long,
He answered not a word,
But when Elijah called on God,
Before the people there,
The Lord sent fire from heaven above,
Because He heard his prayer.
Verse 3
Then to the top of Carmels mount,
The holy prophet went
And prayed unto the Lord again,
That rain once more be seen,
He poured his heart unto his God,
Nor was his prayer in vain,
The clouds in heaven again were seen,
God sent a mighty rain.
Notes
To a Christian, this hymn teaches that the same God who worked through the prophet Elijah is still alive and active today.
It recalls biblical events where God answered Elijah’s prayers by stopping the rain, sending fire from heaven, and later bringing rain again.
The song encourages believers to trust that God still hears and responds to sincere prayers offered in faith.
It contrasts the powerless idols of Baal with the living God who controls creation and acts for His people.
The hymn strengthens confidence in God’s power, faithfulness, and willingness to help those who seek Him with humble, believing hearts.
