[C] I listen to the trumpet of [F] Jesus, how the world is a [Fm] different sound.
[C] I listen to the drumbeat of God Almighty, while the others just wander around.
[Am] I'm a member of the Holy [C] Ghost traveling band, [F] we're moving on up [F#] to a better land.
I [C] hear the voice of a supernatural [G] singer, like only [C] those alone can.
[F] [A#] [F] [C]
[F] [C] One sweet sound makes the [G] whole world [F] adift, but the world seems [C] indifferent to you.
[Bm] His melody [Am] of love calls [G] you to be [F] great, when marking time is all [D] you thought you could do.
[Am] So if you've been [F] playing all your days by [Am] ear, never knowing what [D] your song was to be,
[C] Then hold up a chair, let down your hair, and take a [G] few lessons from me.

[Am] If you feel the [F] need to get your life in [Am] tune, cause you're tired of [D] the dirt every day,
