152. King Jesus Is a-Listenin'

Refrain:
King Jesus is a-listenin' all day long,
King Jesus is a-listenin' all day long,
King Jesus is a-listenin' all day long,
To hear some sinner pray.

1 Some say that John the Baptist
Was nothin' but a Jew,
But the Holy Bible tells us
That John was a preacher too. [Refrain]

2 That Gospel train is comin',
A-rumblin' through the lan',
But I hear them wheels a-hummin',
Get ready to board that train! [Refrain]

2 I know I been converted,
I ain't gon' make no alarm,
For my soul is bound for Glory,
And the devil can't do me no harm. [Refrain]
