Lyrics
I've Got a HOT LINE TO THE LORD
Fran Powers - BMI
Rubato Intro: When I?m feeling down, all alone and blue,
And all I see is misery, no matter what I do.
I know that I?m not stranded, even with no hope in sight
I?ve got a line of communication, and it?s open day and night.
Verse 1:
I?VE GOT A HOT LINE TO THE LORD, and He lets me call collect.
Everytime I have a problem, I just dial the Lord direct.
I never get a busy signal if my message is sincere.
I just pickup that receiver, and I start out with a prayer.
Chorus:
I?VE GOT A HOT LINE TO THE LORD, and you can have one, too.
He?s reserved a special number, and He?s holding it for you.
It?s a universal service, everybody can afford.
You can have a HOT LINE, A HOT LINE TO THE LORD.
Verse 2.
I?VE GOT A HOT LINE TO THE LORD, I can call Him anytime.
I don?t worry ?bout the phone bill, I don?t have to spend a dime.
?Cause I?ve got that toll-free number memorized in my mind.
I close my eyes and say a prayer, and get Jesus on the line.
Chorus:
I?VE GOT A HOT LINE TO THE LORD, and you can have one too.
He?s reserved a special number, and He?s holding it for you.
It?s a universal service everybody can afford.
You can have a HOT LINE, A HOT LINE TO THE LORD.
Verse 3:
I?VE GOT A HOT LINE TO THE LORD, and He always takes my call.
Anytime I?m down and hurtin?, with my back against the wall.
He listens to my story, and He helps me see the light.
His line of communication is open day and night.
Repeat Chorus as above.
