Album: The Best of The Primitive Quartet, Vol. 1
God said He would send down the fire,
said He would send it down to Elijah,
said He would set the altar on fire.
didn't He say, didn't He say?
Well, Elijah was a Great man of God
They tell me, great God that he wandered abroad,
No food in the land, no water to drink
They tell me great God, he had strength
He got food from the ravens and the birds,
He got water from the brook, so I heard,
Then Elijah went down into Egypt land
He found how long the battle would stand
Chorus
Well, Elijah said, "Stop, let me show you.
A man of God that you ought to know,
I've heard the Master and I got a request,
To build and altar and to have a contest;"
So they built an altar of many stones,
Mighty men began to moan,
They cried, "Baal, send the fire,
O, Baal, send the fire,"
They cried, "Baal, send the fire,
Send the fire from on high.
From morning till evening they did cry,
Trying to bring down the fire from on high
Then Elijah called on the bleeding lamb,
The Rose of Sharon, the God on high,
Mary's baby and the Morning Star,
God struck the altar in a burning fire
