[edit] Lyrics
- Elijah rock shout shout
- Elijah rock comin' up Lord
- Elijah rock shout shout
- Elijah rock comin' up Lord
- Elijah, Elijah
- Elijah
- Elijah, Elijah
- Elijah
- Satan is a liar and a conjure too
- If you don't watch (mind) out
- He'll conjure you
- If I could I sho'ly would
- Stand on the rock where Moses stood
- Ezekiel said he saw him
- Wheel in the mid' of a wheel
- John talked about him
- Book of the seven seals
- Some say the Rose of Sharon
- Others say the Prince of Peace
- But I can tell everybody (this ol' world)
- He's been a rock and a shelter for me
- You can call my rock in the mornin'
- Call him late at night
- He's always with me
- And all my battles He'll fight
- When I'm in trouble
- I can call him on the line
- He put a telephone in my heart
- And I can call God anytime
