That’s When The Angels Rejoice

At the completion of the Golden Gate

No

the angels did not celebrate

And when the Wright boys flew their bird

No angelic shouts were heard

There's only one thing that we're sure about

That can make those angels jump and shout

It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice

That's when the angels rejoice

Now

when the light bulb first lit up the town

No

the angels did not dance around

And when the man stepped on the Moon

They didn't sing a victory tune

There's only one thing that we're sure about

That can make those angels jump and shout

It's when a sinner heeds the Savior's voice

That's when the angels rejoice

Now Heaven doesn't strike up the band

For any old occasion at hand

It's got to be a special thing

To make those angels sing

Now when the Model T first hit the street

It didn't bring all Heaven to its feet

And when the first computer was born

They didn't blow old Gabriele's horn

Now when the United States became a nation

There was no angelic Celebration

But one lost sinner comes back home

They dance for joy around God's throne.

There's only one thing that we're sure about

That can make those angels jump and shout

It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice

That's when the angels rejoice
