HE ANSWERED
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
BUT THE PHONE, IT JUST KEEPS RINGING.
AND WHEN I GET AN ANSWER
THE SAME MESSAGE KEEPS REPEATING.
SO I CALLED UP INFORMATION
AND A LADY CAME ON THE LINE.
I TOLD HER MY DESTINATION
EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
YES I KNOW IT'S LONG DISTANCE
AND I KNOW THE PRICE I'LL PAY.
SHE SAID, "THIS ISN'T A REQUEST,
IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY."
PLEASE WAIT WHILE I CONNECT YOU
THEN THE MUSIC STARTED PLAYING.
AND THEN I HEARD "HELLO
THANK YOU FOR CALLING HEAVEN."
I NEED TO SPEAK TO MY FATHER
HE ARRIVED NOT LONG AGO.
THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL HIM
IT'S SOMETHING HE NEEDS TO KNOW.
"MY CHILD THIS IS JESUS
I'VE BEEN WAITING ON YOUR CALL,
YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE HERE WITH ME
IN THEIR MANSION DOWN THE HALL.
I'VE SET UP ALL YOUR HOUSES
LINED UP IN A ROW.
BILLY AND RUSTY PAVED YOUR STREET
AND, YES, THEY'RE LINED WITH GOLD.
I KNOW WHY YOU CALLED ME
AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT,
AND SOMEDAY I'LL COME FOR YOU
YOUR NAME IS ON MY LIST.
BE PATIENT MY CHILD AND WAIT ON ME
FOR I KNOW THE PLACE AND TIME.
UNTIL THE DAY I COME FOR YOU
I'LL SAVE YOUR PLACE IN LINE."
