Like Elisha saw the tempest
when Elijah went to Heaven
I’m excited as I should be
and as quiet as I could be
with my eyes on his side
I’m waiting to ride in my chariot
All’s dividing like the waters
in the fire with the horses
aiming higher, off the map since
my desire’s for my Captain
buckled up, with his trust
I’m waiting to ride in my chariot
I’m ready to fly!
The world’s a desperate stranglehold
that’s got to let us go
an octopus that wants our souls
but God has got control
it’s tentacles just grab ahold
but soon, it’ll all be over
They will get cut off
In the sky where we’ll be meeting
Jesus Christ will soon be leading
He’s the highway for his nation
that we ride anticipating
to the stars! in my car
I’m waiting to ride in my chariot
I’m ready to fly!
After stopping by the wall
we will hear the Lion’s roar
We are watchers in the night
where there’ll be no compromise
When we hear the trumpet sound
we will never see these towns
In the twinkling of an eye
He will take us to his side
I’m waiting to ride in my chariot
I’m ready to fly!
Leave this place behind
Because the Lord Himself shall come down
from Heaven with a commanding shout
of an archangel’s voice
and with God’s trumpet
And the dead ones in Christ will rise again first
then we who remain alive will be
caught up together with them
in the clouds to a meeting with the Lord in the air
And so, we will always be with the Lord
So, then, comfort each other with these words
I’m waiting to ride in my chariot
I’m ready to fly!
