N.C.

[Verse 1]
C
The word of God came to Elijah, as toward God's throne he look.
                                       D            G         C
Get thee hence and turn thee eastward, hide yourself down by the brook.
C
So he did as God commanded, he knew the lord would see him thru.
                             G              C
Just as God did for Elijah, he will do for me and you.

[Chorus]
C
He said stay by the brook, stay by the brook.
                            D        G      C
God told Elijah to go down, and stay by the brook.
                                 Am
I'll see to your every need, the raven will bring you food to eat.
C
Don't get faint hearted, just look to me and stay by the brook.

[Verse 2]
C
All of our days down here are numbered,
C
We're like a vapor and then we're gone.
C
God's never fail one of his children,
D           G          C
Everyone of them will make it home.
C
So don't fret about your problems,
C
Trials and heart aches you might face.
                             G                              C
It could happen any moment, God's gonna take us out of this place.

[Chorus]
C
He said stay by the brook, stay by the brook.
                            D        G      C
God told Elijah to go down, and stay by the brook.
                                 Am
I'll see to your every need, the raven will bring you food to eat.
C
Don't get faint hearted, just look to me and stay by the brook.
                                             G           C
Don't get faint hearted, just look to me and stay by the brook.
