Lyrics

Come on, put your hands together, y'all can do it. Come on, everybody
Listen, I want to take a trip back in the olden times
When we used to have good old time church
Y'all remember that? Do y'all remember that?
Yeah! Well, I remember when I was a little boy growing up
I loved to go to church
Well, we didn't have church every Sunday
But we had it every first and third Sundays
Anybody here know about that?
Come on, put your hands together. Everybody, put your— come on!
And I remember when we would get to church
I remember our pastor's name was Reverend Pope
And sometimes on Sunday morning
He'd stand up and have everybody to come down to the altar
And I remember they used to sing an old song
And it comes back to my mind
And in case y'all don't know how we gonna sing it tonight
Somebody might know it the old way
Y'all mind if I sing it for you? Y'all want to hear me sing it for you? Y'all want to hear me singing it
The old song went like this, it did like this, it said
Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want
Call Him up and tell Him what you want
Come on here! Why don't you get up on your feet, get up on your feet
Listen, maybe some of you might know it
How many of you know that old song?
Y'all want to help me sing it?
Y'all want to help me sing it?
Y'all gonna help me sing it?
Y'all gonna help me sing it?
Let's sing it for somebody tonight
Come on, let's sing it. One, two, three, four!
Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want
Call Him up and tell Him what you want
Can I get a witness here? Can I get one witness here?
I believe we can do it one more time
Can we do it one more time? Just one more time!
Let's do it one more time. Come on, in Jesus' name!
Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want
Call Him up and tell Him what you want
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute
I remember there was an old lady used to sit in what we call— where the mother board was
Y'all remember the mothers' board?
How many of you remember where the mothers' board was?
I got a witness here. I— I got a witness remember where the mothers' board was
And her name was Sister Emma
Sister Emma would get up, and while they would be having altar call, and she'd say this very simply, she said
Jesus... He's on the main line
Tell Him what you want
Oh Lord
Tell Him what you want
Ah, said Jesus... He's on the main line
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Oh yeah, Jesus... He's on the main line
Tell Him what you want
Oh, yeah yeah tell Him what you want
Call Him
Call Him up!
Call Him
Call Him up
And tell Him
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Wait a minute, wait a minute
They would be shouting, some would be crying
Somebody would be running
But they would be praising the Lord!
I remember the way they used to clap old time
Come on, everybody!
Hey, y'all
And wait a minute, wait a minute. And way back in the back of the church, somebody would stand up and say, "Listen..."
If you
Want salvation
Tell Him
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Come on, help us sing!
If you
Want salvation
Come on, say it!
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Oh, if you
Want salvation
Tell Him!
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Call Him
Call Him up
Call Him
Call Him up
Tell Him
Tell Him what you want
Tell Him what you want
Wait a minute. I remember back in those old times. Anybody here remember when the deacons would get happy? Anybody here remember when the deacons would get happy? And open up the
