This post is a little different. I want to tell you about a song I like. I would love to have a great singing voice and always be in pitch but God did not bless me with that gift. I do love to listen to others using that talent though.
Woooo… If you want your body healed tell Him what you want, oooh, tell Him, tell Him, tell Him what you want. Prayer is a lot like picking up your cell phone and making a call. Just go ahead. Dial up Jesus and tell Him what you want. He is waiting for your call.
The Zion Harmonizers have been producing heavenly music for more than 55 years and some of them are over 80 years old. They have been thrilling both ecclesiastical and secular audiences with their accapella sounds and their repertoire of timeless gospel music classics over all those years. I told my wife when I die I want them siinging at my funeral. They have been hugely popular and their music seems to grow stronger and stronger with each passing year. I really enjoy listening to them.
They feature a song on their Greatest Hits album that really its home with me. It is called “Jesus on the Main Line”. I think it was done by Ry Cooder and many others and it is labeled as a traditional song. I like it done with that New Orleans gospel flavor that the Harmonizers use.
Here are the words:
I know Jesus is on that mainline, Tell Him what you want ,Jesus is on that mainline, Tell Him what you want, Jesus is on that mainline, 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, Keep on calling Him up, And tell Him what you want.
Well, if you want His kingdom, Tell Him what you want, If you want His kingdom, Tell Him what you want, If want His kingdom, Tell Him what you want, Call Him up, call Him up, call Him up, call Him up, You can call Him up and tell Him what you want.
Well, if you’re sick and wanna get well, Tell Him what you want, Well, if you’re sick and you wanna get well, Tell Him what you want, If you’re sick and you wanna get well, Tell Him what you want, Call Him up and 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, Tell Him what you want, And if you’re feeling down and out, Tell Him what you want, Call Him up and tell Him what you want.
I know Jesus is on that mainline, Tell Him what you want, Jesus is on that mainline, Tell Him what you want, Jesus is on that mainline, Tell Him what you want, Call Him up, call Him up, call Him up, call Him up, Call Him up and tell Him what you want.
Go listen to it soon because the writing does not do it justice.
If you are going to dial Him up on the mainline you need the phone numbers. He has a special phone number extension for each need you have. I am including a few good ones here for you to add into your phone book:
