Fed By Ravens, Eaten By Vultures Lyrics - Tourniquet

After final separation of the twelve tribes 

The kingdom of Israel succumbed to idolatry 

God's anger raged at King Ahab and his nation 

For idolatry and persecution of his priests 

They were put to death in astonishing numbers 

Now God's plan - a punishment for their sins 

He sent Elijah 

TELL HIM, to tell King Ahab 

THREE YEARS, for three years and a half 

NO RAIN, no rain shall fall in Israel 

As soon as Elijah had foretold this great evil 

God bade him hide himself from the rage of Ahab 

In a certain place near the brook called Cherith 

Where He had commanded the ravens to feed him 

So he dwelt and drank of the water from the brook 

While the ravens brought him food morning and evening 

Do unto the least of these 

GOD'S PLAN, God's instruments of his plan 

RAVENS, the blackest bird of them all 

FED HIM, the ravens heard God's call 

God provides when hope is gone today 

God provides when you must hide away 

God provides when hope is gone today 

The members of Jeroboam's family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures. I, the Lord, have spoken.
