Andrew Peterson - Pillar of Fire lyrics

There, in the distance it's a pillar of fire
Rumbling like thunder in a dream
It roars among the pines along the line
Of the great Mississippi (M-m-m)

It scatters all the cattle and
It rattles the leaves
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 swirling and
Whirling and spinning all around
Onward and upward and homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night
Pillar of fire

Now 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 down
To the deepest and the darkest parts

I can see it swirling and
Whirling and spinning all around
Onward and upward and homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night
Pillar of Fire woah oh oh oh oh

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 that 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

Always whirling, swirling
And spinning all around
Onward and upward, now homeward bound
Oh, Jesus
Won't You hold me through the night
Pillar of fire

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

Pillar of fire (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah)
(Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah)
(Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah)
Pillar of fire (Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah)
