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
