The Phone Is Ringing

(This may be a lot of peoples personal testimony) In my clouded, muddled, mind I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I got a lot of things going on and in my mind I hear the phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS talking to me but I'm not listening The phone is ringing but I won't answer it GOD IS calling but I won't respond to HIM I have the nerve to say to HIM you've got the wrong number I have the nerve to say to HIM you've got the wrong number And not even being humble, being a little sassy a little nasty So don't be like me and refuse HIS call Or you may wind up with your back up against the wall When He calls out your name You had better answer HIM God has somethin He wants to tell you He has something He wants to tell you The phone is ringing in your spirit, in your soul; Pick up, pick up, so you'll know just where to go Everything fall be on time, cause it's Jesus on the main line The phone is ringing The phone is ringing I )(You, We) better answer it Written by James Edward Lee Sr. from the anthology "Purpose " August 10 2016
