Pillar of Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There, in the distance It's a pillar of fire Rumbling like thunder in a dream It roars among the pines along the line Of the great Mississippi (Mmm) [Verse 2] It scatters all the cattle and it rattles the leaves It skids across the prairie by the moon It sings like a choir, this pillar of fire And the name of God is the burning tune [Chorus] I can see it swirling and whirling and spinning all around Onward and upward and homeward bound Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night Pillar of fire [Verse 3] Now on through the passes of the mountains, it goes As bouldered and broken as my heart I shiver and cry and I watch as it winds down To the deepest and the darkest parts [Chorus] I can see it swirling and whirling and spinning all around Onward and upward and homeward bound Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night Pillar of Fire Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh [Bridge] Where, Oh Lord, are You leading? I can get so scared in the night My feet are cut and bleeding With every step, I feel less alive [Verse 4] Oh, but pillar of fire, You blazed that trail You've been there every step along the road From a barn in Bethlehem to Hell and back again You blazed the trail that leads me home [Chorus] Always whirling, swirling, and spinning all around Onward and upward, now homeward bound Oh, Jesus, won't You hold me through the night Pillar of fire [Verse 5] Oh, now on to the ocean, I follow it down Where it sizzles and boils in the waves along the sound Oh, Jesus, lead me to the shore Pillar of fire [Outro] Pillar of fire (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah) (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah) (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah) Pillar of fire (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah)
