Ron Stanfield God Told the Black Ravens lyrics

I'll sing you a story that might seem absurd
How God in His wisdom made the use of a bird
For to keep Elijah alive and not dead
God told the black ravens to bring meat and bread

Chorus:
To bring meat and bread. To bring meat and bread
God told the black ravens to bring meat and bread

Ahab was Israel's ruler and king
He worshipped Baal and worldly things
In the name of the Lord Elijah explained,
“Three years would pass before the next rain.”

Chorus:
Before the next rain. Before the next rain
Three years will pass before the next rain

King Ahab sinned most all of his days

Elijah rebuked his unkindly ways
But Ahab was eager to do his own thing
And Elijah departed before the next rain

Chorus:
Before the next rain. Before the next rain
Elijah departed before the next rain

God spoke to Elijah and refuge he took
East of the Jordan along Cherith Brook
Each morning and evening Elijah was fed
God told the black ravens to bring meat and bread

Chorus:
To bring meat and bread. To bring meat and bread
God told the black ravens to bring meat and bread
