I listen to the trumpet [F] of Jesus, how the world is a different [Fm] town.
[C] Much to the drumbeat of God Almighty, while the others just wander around.
[Am] I'm a member of [C] the Holy Ghost traveling [F] band, we're moving on [F#] up to a better land.
[C] I hear the voice of a supernatural singer like only the [Dm] Lord can.

[Am] So if you've been playing [F] all your days by ear, [Am] never knowing what your song [D] was to be.
