| 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
|
| There’s only one thing that we’re sure about
|
| That can make those angels jump and shout
|
| It’s 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
|
| There’s only one thing that we’re sure about
|
| That can make those angels jump and shout
|
| It’s when a sinner heeds the Savior’s voice
|
| That’s when the angels rejoice
|
| Now Heaven doesn’t strike up the band
|
| For any old occasion at hand
|
| It’s got to be a 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 old Gabriele’s horn
|
| Now when the United States became a nation
|
| There was no angelic Celebration
|
| But one lost sinner comes back home
|
| They dance for joy around God’s throne.
|
| There’s only one thing that we’re sure about
|
| That can make those angels jump and shout
|
| It’s when a sinner makes the Lord his choice
|
| That’s when the angels rejoice |
