185-1. Jesus Is On the Main Line

1 Jesus is on the main line,
And He is working for you,
He has promised you His blessing,
if you'll only be true.
Keep on trusting, keep on praying,
keep on calling on His name;
For my Father never changes,
He'll still be the same.

Refrain:
Oh yes, oh yes, His promise is sure,
Oh yes, oh yes, He is knocking at your door;
There a mansion awaits you, if you only endure;
Jesus is on the main line, and He's working for you.

2 When your life becomes a burden,
When there's heartache and pain,
Never fail to call on Jesus,
He'll send you some rain;
For there is peace and contentment
in serving the Lord
Look ahead, never give up,
just be steadfast in His Word. [Refrain]

3 One of these days, it won't be long
With the angels you shall stand
No more sickness, no more crying,
t'will be joy over there.
He'll reward you with His gift
that you waited for so long
You'll hear, "Welcome home my child;
you have run well." [Refrain]
