That's When the Angels Rejoice Songtext

von Gaither Vocal Band

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's gonna 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's gonna make those Angels jump and shout:
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
That's when the angels rejoice!

Now, Heaven doesn't strike up the band
For any old occasion at hand,
It's gotta 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 Gabriel's horn.
There's only one thing that we're sure about
That's gonna 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 United States became a nation
There was no angelic celebration,
But when 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!
That's when the angels rejoice!
That's when the angels rejoice!
