Flood the Altar
High upon a mountaintop
An altar was prepared
The pagan prophets said their God
Would show His power there
He offered up a sacrifice
And called upon His name
But though they prayed to Him all day
The fire never came
Then Elijah stood
Before another sacrifice
The people carried water there
To pour upon it twice
And when the altar and the wood
Were flooded once again
God sent thе fire to prove
That they should worship only Him
Somеtimes you have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice
To see your heart's desire
Amazing things can happen
If you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
God knew that the people
Needed morning rain that day
They had to learn that there
Was only one God to obey
Then He demanded water
In the middle of a drought
Yet He would meet their need
If they would pour the water out
Sometimes you have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice
To see your heart's desire
Amazing things can happen
If you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar
Well, you may have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
You may have to learn to sacrifice
To see your heart's desire
Amazing things can happen
If you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
Amazing things can happen
If you do what God requires
You may have to flood the altar
Before He sends the fire
