(traditional)

I know jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want

Well, the line ain't never busy
Tell him what you want
Wo, that line ain't never busy
Tell him what you want
Well, the line ain't never busy
Tell him what you want
Keep on calling him up
And tell him what you want

Well, if you want his kingdom
Tell him what you want
If you want his kingdom
Tell him what you want
If want his kingdom
Tell him what you want
Call him up, call him up, call him up, call him up
You can call him up and tell him what you want

Well, if you're sick and wanna get well
Tell him what you want
Well, if you're sick and you wanna get well
Tell him what you want
If you're sick and you wanna get well
Tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want

And if you're feeling down and out
Tell him what you want
And if you're feeling down and out
Tell him what you want
And if you're feeling down and out
Tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want

I know jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Call him up, call him up, call him up, call him up
Call him up and tell him what you want
