Elias At the Juniper Tree
He followed so sad his path
Thinking he was lost in his war
The man of God fled from a woman
Who threatened to take his life, that's why
He sought to hide in a cave
But his pain became greater than his strength
And finding a juniper tree then
He stayed there
And the anguish that hurt him was so much
And he raised his voice to the heavens
And began to cry out to God
Lord, I am no better than my parents
I don't want to live anymore, under this war
Take my spirit to you
Come take me out of here, pull me from this Earth
Exhausted then he fell asleep, but awakened
He was by the angel of God
Who gave him water and bread to eat
But his pain was so great that he fell asleep again
And again the angel came to touch him
Eat and drink of this bread because it will
Sustain you
For the path you have to walk is very long
And those who humiliated you will see that
God will exalt you
In the desert he walked forty days because
The bread sustained him giving strength to continue
And today, in this song God found your
Story brother is not over, you have to
Continue
Eat and drink of this water and this bread in this
Your trial you will see
God will exalt you
In the desert he walked forty days because
The bread sustained him giving strength to continue
And today in this song God found your
Story brother is not over you have to continue
Eat and drink of this water and this bread in this
Your trial you will see
God will exalt you
