[Verse 1]
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 (Mmm)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Outro]
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)
