Royal Telephone

(앨범: The Versatile Burl Ives! - 1961)

Telephone to glory
Over joy divine
I can feel the current
Moving on the line

Made by God the Father
For his very own
You may talk to Jesus
On this royal telephone

Central is never busy
Always on the line
You can hear from Heaven
Almost anytime

'Tis a royal service
Built for one and all
When you get in trouble
Give this royal line a call

Telephone to glory
Over joy divine
I can feel the current moving on the line

Made by God the Father
For his very own
You may talk to Jesus
On this royal telephone

If your line is grounded
And connections too
Happened lots with Jesus
Tell you what to do

Prayer and faith and promise
Mends a broken wire
Then your soul is burning
With the Pentecostal fire

Telephone to glory
Over joy divine
I can feel the current moving on the line

Made by God the Father
For his very own
You may talk to Jesus
On this royal telephone

(There will be no charges
Telephone is free
It is built for service
Just for you and me)

(There will be no waiting
On this royal line
Telephone to glory
Always answers just in time)

Telephone to glory
Over joy divine
I can feel the current moving on the line

Made by God the Father
For his very own
You may talk to Jesus
On this royal telephone

Fail to get an answer
Satan's 'cross wire
Buy some strong delusion
Or some heart's desire

Take away obstruction
God is on the throne
Then you get your answer
Through the royal telephone

Telephone to glory
Over joy divine
I can feel the current moving on the line

Made by God the Father
For his very own
You may talk to Jesus
On this royal telephone
