[Verse 1]
Bb
At the completion of the Golden Gate,
Eb
No, the angels did not celebrate
D7 Gm
And when the Wright boys flew their bird
C7 F7
No angelic shouts were heard.
[Chorus]
Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
D Gm C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!
[Verse 2]
Bb
Now, when the light bulb first lit up the town,
Eb
No, the angels did not dance around
D7 Gm
And when the man stepped on the moon
C7 F
They didn't sing a victory tune.
[Chorus]
Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
D Gm C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!
[Verse 3]
Eb
Now, Heaven doesn't strike up the band
Bb
For any old occasion at hand,
Eb
It's gotta be a special thing
C F
To make those Angels sing.
[Verse 4]
Bb
Now, when the model T first hit the street
Eb
It didn't bring all Heaven to its feet
D Gm
And when the first computer was born
C F
They didn't blow Gabriel's horn.
[Chorus]
Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
D Gm C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!
[Verse 5]
Eb
Now, when the United States became a nation
Bb
There was no angelic celebration,
C Ebm C
But when one lost sinner comes back home
F G7
They jump for joy around God's throne.
[Chorus]
C C7
There's only one thing that we're sure about
F
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
E Am D7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
G C A7
That's when the angels rejoice!
[Otro]
D7 G7 C A
That's when the angels rejoice!
D G C
That's when the angels rejoice!
