Some people really really... reaallllly like John the Baptist.
There was a time when this would have been very heretical.
Lol- we don't have that anymore! ;)
lyrics
Bring your spirit down to the riverside
bring your body down on by the riverside
Elijah come, Elijah come
cleanse your soul,the water run
Elijah come,Elijah come
one and all, his will be done
Bring your brother down to the riverside
bring your sister on down by the riverside
there is a man there is a man
Elijah come, Elijah come
there is a man there is a man
did all the things they say Jesus done
Bring your mother down to the riverside
bring your father on down by the riverside
there is a man by the river Jordan
did all the things they say Jesus done
there is a man by the river Jordan
Elijah come,Elijah come
Bring your kings and queens to the riverside
by his hand baptized- fire,water, ice
by his hand by his hand
Elijah come, Elijah come
in the spirit, Elijah come
down by the river Jordan
one and all,his will be done
one and all,his will be done
