[Chorus] G D7 Telephone to glory over joy devine G I can feel the current, moving on the line C Made by God the Father for His very own G D7 G You may talk to Jesus on this royal telephone C G Central's never busy, always on the line D7 G You can hear from heaven, almost any time C 'Tis a royal service, built for one and all G D7 G When you get in trouble, give this royal line a call (chorus) C G If your line is grounded, and connections too D7 G Have been lost with Jesus, tell you what to do C Prayer and faith and promise, mends a broken wire G D7 G Then your soul is burning with the Penticostal fire (chorus) C G There will be no charges, telephone is free D7 G It is built for service, just for you and me C There will be no waiting, on this royal line G D7 G Telephone to glory always answers just in time (chorus) C G Fail to get an answer, Satan's crossed the wire D7 G By some strong delusion, or some heart's desire C Take away obstruction, God is on the throne G D7 G Then you will get your answer on the royal telephone (chorus)
