Pillar Of Fire lyrics

There, in the distance--a pillar of fireRumbling like thunder in a dreamIt roars among the pines along the linesOf the great MississippiIt scatters all the cattle, and rattles the treesIt skids across the prairie by the moonIt sings like a choir, this pillar of fireAnd the name of God is the burning tuneI can see it whirling, swirling, Spinning all aroundUpward, onward, homeward boundOh, Jesus, lead me through the night,Pillar of FireOn through the passes of the mountains it goesAs bouldered and broken as my heartI shiver and cry and I watch as it windsTo the deepest and the darkest partsI can see it whirling, swirling,Spinning all aroundNow upward, onward, now homeward boundOh, Jesus, hold me through the night,Pillar of FireWhere, Oh Lord, are you leading?I can get so scared in the nightMy feet are cut and bleedingWith every step I feel less aliveOh, but Pillar of Fire, you blazed this trailYou've been there every step along the roadFrom a barn in Bethlehem to Hell and back
againYou blazed the trail that leads me homeI can see it whirling, swirling,Spinning all aroundNow upward, onward, now homeward boundOh, Jesus, hold me through the night,Pillar of FireOn to the ocean I follow it downWhere it sizzles and boils in the waves along the soundOh, Jesus, lead me to your shorePillar of Fire
