Oh, ah
When I need a small reminder
When my legs can't find the road
When I'm heavy with my burden
So, my back is tired and bow
Got these questions I collected
He brings the answer to my ear
Oh, Lord
My God has a telephone
Hear it ringing in the morning
My God has a telephone
Hear Him calling out a warning
It may be long-distance
But I want you to know there ain't no fear
All it takes is a little persistence
And He's on the line with me
Yes, He is
You can reach Him any hour
And His voice is loud and clear
Yes, it is
Call him up
Feel the power
Even the deaf men begin to hear
In the spring or the fall
I hear his call
To put my faith over fear
My God has a telephone
He's got a telephone
Call Him up
It don't matter
To answer your call
My God has a telephone
