Andrew Peterson - Pillar Of Fire lyrics

rate me

There, in the distance--a pillar of fire Rumbling like thunder in a dream It roars among the pines along the lines Of the great Mississippi It scatters all the cattle, and rattles the trees 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 I can see it whirling, swirling, Spinning all around Upward, onward, homeward bound Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night, Pillar of Fire 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 To the deepest and the darkest parts I can see it whirling, swirling, Spinning all around Now upward, onward, now homeward bound Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night, Pillar of Fire 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 Oh, but Pillar of Fire, you blazed this 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 I can see it whirling, swirling, Spinning all around Now upward, onward, now homeward bound Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night, Pillar of Fire On to the ocean I follow it down Where it sizzles and boils in the waves along the sound Oh, Jesus, lead me to your shore Pillar of Fire
