At the completion of the Golden Gate
No, the angels did not celebrate
And when the Wright boys flew their bird
No angelic shouts were heard
Hook 1
There's only one thing that we're sure about, that's gonna make those angels jump & shout
When a sinner makes the Lord his choice; that's when the angels rejoice!
Now when the light bulb first lit up the town
No, the angels did not dance around
And when the man stepped on the moon;
They didn't sing a victory tune.
Hook 2
There's only one thing that we're sure about; that's gonna make those angels jump & shout
Its when a sinner make the Lord his choice; that's when the angels rejoice!
Now heaven doesn't strike up the band for any old occasion at hand; its got to be special thing to make those angels sing!
Now when the Model T first hit the street
It didn't bring all Heaven to its feet
And when the first computer was born
They didn't blow Gabriel's horn.
Repeat Hook 2
Now when the United States became a nation
There was no angelic celebration
When one lost sinner comes back home
They jump for joy around the throne.
Hook 3
There's only one thing that we're sure about that can make those angels jump & shout
Its when a sinner makes the Lord his choice; that's when the angels rejoice!
That's when the angels rejoice!
That's when the angels rejoice!
