[D#m]
[C#] [D#m]
[B] [F#]
[C#] On top of Mount Carmel, [C#]
Elijah did [G#] pray,
Seeking an answer, [B] praying [D#m] for rain.
[C#] He sent [D#m] his servant [C#] to view [F#] the sky,
[C#] While he prayed [A#m] and waited [G#] for a [C#] [F#] reply.
[C#]
Offering his servant, looking in vain,
[G#] Elijah seemed crazy, [B] there was [D#m] no rain.
[C#] He [D#m] climbed that [C#] mountain six [F#] times in death,
[C#]
Seventh [A#m] brought promise [G#] when God endured [C#] the [F#] drought.
[C#] Hold on till Jesus opens the sky,
[G#] [A#m]
Hold on, He'll dry [D#] each tear from [G#] your eye.
[C#] Let go of your troubles, [D#m] turn [C#] loose [F#] your care,
[C#] Hold on, [A#m] my brother, [G#] He will [C#] be [A] there.
[D] Mofan, it seems [G] like [D] our prayers are in vain,
[A] The drought's full of trouble, [C]
no sign of [Em] rain,
But from [D] the throne room [Em] in heaven, [D] water [G] flows free.
So [D] just hold on, [Bm] Christian, [A] He'll hear [D] your [G] plea.
[D]
Hold on till Jesus opens the sky,
[A] [Bm] Hold on, He'll dry [E] each tear from [A] your eye.
[D] Let go of your troubles, [Em] turn [D] loose [G] your care,
[D] Hold on, [Bm] my brother, [A]
He will [D] be [G] there.
[D] Hold on, [Bm]
He [G] [D]
[A] will [D] be there.
[G] [D]
