Fogo no Altar
Juciara Pimentel
Fire on the Altar
I want to see, fire descending on the altar
I want to see, the burnt offering consumed
I want to be, a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing
I want to see, I want to see power fall
I want to see, angelic tongues here today
I want to see, I want to see fire from heaven
Power of the Great Emanuel
Like Elijah with his courage challenged
The prophets of Baal he called
To show them the greatness of his Lord
Today is no different
We challenge this generation with courage
We ask for fire on the altar to prove
That God, His glory to another god will never give
And before those prophets of Baal
Elijah repaired the broken altar
He arranged the wood and placed his offering there
And three times he commanded them to pour
Four jars of water over the burnt offering
So that the water ran over the altar
And around it
Then Elijah, calling for fire from heaven, said
O Lord, God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel
Manifest today that You are God, and that I am Your servant
Answer me, Lord, answer me
So that this people may know the God of Israel
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering
The wood, the stones, and the dust
And even licked up the water around the altar
And when all saw it, they fell prostrate and said
The Lord alone is God, the Lord alone is God!
I want to see, fire descending on the altar
I want, I want to see, the burnt offering consumed
I want, I want to be, a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing
I want to see, I want to see power fall
I want, I want to see angelic tongues here today
I want, I want to see, I want to see fire from heaven
Power of the Great Emanuel (2x)
I want to see, fire descending on the altar
I want to see, the burnt offering consumed
I want to be, a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing
