Şarkı Sözleri

There, in the distance, a pillar of fire
Rumbling like thunder in a dream
It roars among the pines along the lines
Of the great Mississippi

It scatters all the cattle, and rattles the trees
It skids across the prairie by the moon
It sings like a choir, this pillar of fire
And the name of God is the burning tune

I can see it whirling, swirling
Spinning all around
Upward, onward, homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night
Pillar of fire

On through the passes of the mountains it goes
As bouldered and broken as my heart
I shiver and cry and I watch as it winds
To the deepest and the darkest parts

I can see it whirling, swirling
Spinning all around
Now upward, onward, now homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night
Pillar of fire

Where, oh Lord, are you leading?
I can get so scared in the night
My feet are cut and bleeding
With every step I feel less alive

Oh, but pillar of fire, you blazed this trail
You've been there every step along the road
From a barn in Bethlehem to Hell and back again
You blazed the trail that leads me home

I can see it whirling, swirling
Spinning all around
Now upward, onward, now homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night
Pillar of fire

On to the ocean I follow it down
Where it sizzles and boils in the waves along the sound
Oh, Jesus, lead me to your shore
Pillar of fire
