[Verse 1]
Up on Carmel, high noon sun,
Four hundred prophets, here we come,
They built their altar, made their plea,
“Baal, send fire! One, two, three!”
They shouted louder, danced around,
Morning came—no fire came down.
Elijah watched that whole parade,
Then leaned back in the shade and said—
[Pre-Chorus]
“Hey boys, maybe yell some more,
Maybe he can’t hear you from the other shore!
Maybe he’s busy, maybe he’s gone,
Maybe your god hit the snooze till dawn!”
[Chorus]
Maybe your god’s on vacation,
Maybe he missed your notification,
Maybe he’s sleeping, maybe he’s late,
Maybe he’s stuck outside heaven’s gate!
But the God I know don’t need no wake-up call,
Don’t need Wi-Fi, don’t need us at all.
One little prayer and the fire came down—
There’s only one King wearing that crown!
[Verse 2]
Now we’ve got Baals of a different kind,
Little glowing screens taking all our time,
Followers, money, likes and fame,
Different altar, same old game.
We ask our paycheck, “Save my soul!”
Ask the algorithm, “Make me whole!”
Ask everybody, “Tell me who I am!”
While God’s still saying, “Child, I AM.”
[Pre-Chorus]
So maybe scroll a little more,
Maybe Amazon’s got peace at your door!
Maybe one more “like” will make things right—
Or maybe we’ve been asking the wrong god all night!
[Chorus]
Maybe your god’s on vacation,
Maybe he missed your notification,
Maybe he’s sleeping, maybe he’s late,
Maybe he’s stuck outside heaven’s gate!
But the God I know don’t need no wake-up call,
Don’t need Wi-Fi, don’t need us at all.
One little prayer and the fire came down—
There’s only one King wearing that crown!
[Bridge — breakdown, claps building]
Pour on the water!
Pour it again!
Fill up the trenches—
Then watch what happens!
No smoke and mirrors,
No sleight of hand,
Elijah prayed—
And FIRE hit the land!
[Big Final Chorus]
My God ain’t on vacation,
He never misses a notification!
He doesn’t slumber, He doesn’t run late,
He’s never been worried about tempting fate!
When the world gets loud and the idols call,
I know the One who outlasts them all.
Carmel proved what we still know now—
There’s only one King wearing that crown!
[Outro]
So if your little god needs waking up,
Maybe it’s time for a different one!
No signal?
No answer?
No fire?
Elijah said,
“TRY YELLING LOUDER!”
Hey!
Then heaven answered—
FIRE!
