  • LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

    AIN’T NOBODY EVER ANSWER, I CAN NEVER GET THROUGH
    LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN
    IS THERE ANYBODY THERE? CAN’T YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS?

    SOMETIMES I SIT AND WONDER WHY
    SOMETIMES I SIT AND I CRY
    WHY IS THE LORD SO FAR AWAY
    WHY CAN’T I SEE HIM TODAY

    LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN
    AIN’T NOBODY EVER ANSWER, I CAN NEVER GET THROUGH
    LONG-DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN
    IS THERE ANYBODY THERE? CAN’T YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS?

  • THEN ONE DAY, I FINALLY GOT AN ANSWER
    ONE DAY, I FINALLY GOT THROUGH

    IN A DREAM AN ANGEL SAID TO ME
    IT’S A LOCAL CALL LET ME PLACE THE CALL FOR YOU
    YOU SEE HE LIVES WITHIN YOU, HE LIVES ALL AROUND YOU
    AND THERE ARE NO LONG-DISTANCE CALLS FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN
    CAUSE THE LINES ARE OPEN ALL THE TIME

    IT’S A LOCAL CALL
    ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL
    ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL
    IT’S A LOCAL CALL
