Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up
by Mark Bishop

Album: Just Pay Attention

Way down where chilly Jordan flows,
on their way to Jericho,
Elijah and Elisha and fifty more.
Ol' Elijah said "Today's the day...God's gonna take my soul away.
And I will find what I've been searchin' for."

Then suddenly out of the sky, came a chariot of fire and light.
A cloud of dust, and the sound of horse's hooves.
Oh now I don't know but I hear tell, Elijah had a grand farewell.
He got an offer he couldn't refuse.

Chorus

I'm a headin' home now! Never more to roam now!
God has come to take my soul away.
I'm a headed higher...on a chariot of fire!
And I'm not comin' back, I mean to stay...so...
Giddy-up, giddy-up!

Now they all looked up in disbelief.
For where he went no-one could see.
He vanished with the thunder in the clous.
Well fifty men looked high and low.
But where he went to, they don't know.
The prophet of the Lord was never found.

Now many years have come and gone.
The ebb and flow of life rolls on,
and one day I will hear that call on high.
Oh but when the angels come for me,
I'll take the reins and I'll tell this world good-bye!

Chorus Repeat Twice

Giddy-up, giddy-up....Giddy-up, giddy-up
Giddy-up, giddy up....Giddy-up, giddy-up
I'm a headed higher! On a chariot of fire! So giddy-up!
