VS 1

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.

CHORUS
There's only one thing that we're sure about that will make those angels jump and shout
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice -- that's when the angels rejoice.

VS2
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.
CHORUS
There's only one thing that we're sure about that will make those angels jump and shout
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice -- that's when the angels rejoice.

BRIDGE
Now heaven doesn't strike up a band for any old occasion at hand.
It's gotta be a special thing to make those angels sing.
VS 3
Now when the Model T first hit the street, it didn’t bring all heaven to it's feet
And when the first computer was born, they didn't blow Gabriel's horn.

CHORUS
There's only one thing that we're sure about that will make those angels jump and shout
It's when a sinner makes the Lord His choice -- that's when the angels rejoice.
BRIDGE 2
When the United States became a nation, there was no angelic celebration
But when one lost sinner comes back home, they jump for joy around the throne.
CHORUS
There's only one thing that we're sure about that will make those angels jump and shout
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice -- that's when the angels rejoice.
TAG
That’s when the angels rejoice.
Rejoice.
