Story behind the song
Where will you be on judgement day?
Lyrics
After the Tone
Verse 1:
I called my neighbor, heard the phone ring.
She’s in church each Sunday, and wow can that girl sing.
She would tell me, get right today
There was no answer, but I heard a voice say:
Verse 2:
I called my preacher, heard the phone ring.
Oh, He’s a real fire breather, at times his words sting.
He would tell me, Jesus is the way.
There was no answer, but I heard a voice say:
Verse 3:
I called my parents, heard the phone ring.
They are my all and all, they’re my everything.
Now they would tell me, he might come today.
There was no answer, but I heard a voice say
Speaking part after 3rd verse:
My friends, that day is drawing near
When Jesus calls will there be a smile or will there be a tear
If that phone rings on judgment day
What will you hear, or what will you say?
Chorus:
Hello, you just missed me. I have flown away
I won’t be returning; No, not today.
You can leave a message, after the tone
I’m in a place called heaven…Yes, I’ve gone home.
Tag:
I’m in a place called heaven… I’ve gone home.
