I know Jesus is on that mainline 
Tell Him what you want 
Jesus is on that mainline 
Tell Him what you want

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

And tell Him what you want 

Well, if you want His kingdom 
Tell Him what you want 
If you want His kingdom

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
