Subject: RE: God's Radio Phone From: Bruce O. Date: 05 Jan 98 - 01:04 PM Barbara, that's the one I was thinking of. It was by Albert E. Brumley, copyright 1938. It is on p. 3 of his 'All-day Singin' and Dinner on the Ground' songbook, copyright, 1972. |

Subject: Lyr Add: GOD'S RADIO PHONE From: Cam Kemp Date: 05 Jan 98 - 10:58 PM GOD'S RADIO PHONE C C7CHORUS: Call the station in heaven. They will answer you soon, I am sure. Tell them to give you Jesus, The friend of the needy and poor. He sits on the right hand of the Father, On an editorial throne. He'll answer, I'm sure, if you'll only endure, Over God's wonderful radiophone.
When Elijah went up to Mount Carmel,
I only know these two verses. Could be more. Cam Kemp "Democracy is the type of government that allows you to talk about what it would be like with a competent one!" HTML line breaks and preformat commands added. --JoeClone, 8-Dec-02. |

Subject: RE: God's Radio Phone From: Dale Rose Date: 06 Jan 98 - 12:30 AM It is on Norman & Nancy Blake's While Passing Along This Way album, Shanachie 6012, 1994, and is credited to Wade Mainer. The only real difference from Cam's version that I hear is "Is it God or Baal that we alone" or maybe "Is it God or Baal that we'll own". Neither makes all that much sense. I like the Baal part, though, maybe it should be "Is it God or Baal that we obey", but then it doesn't rhyme. Those are the only two verses on this version as well. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: God's Radio Phone From: GUEST,Dave Gardner Date: 12 Jan 13 - 09:54 PM "God or Baal that we'll own..." own in the sense of 'acknowledge,' as in "own up" to something. Also, the throne is "mediatorial" (not 'editorial,' which doesn't make much sense) since Jesus is our "only mediator and advocate." It's in the O.E.D. I don't have the record anymore, but I also remember:"To worship the thing we are told;" They had connection with Heaven;" "The D.D. doctors [doctors of Divinity] and fakers were there from all over the land;" a question arose for discussion"[scans better]; "With thoughts from God's radiophone." |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: God's Radio Phone From: Jim Dixon Date: 13 Jan 13 - 10:07 AM Thanks to Dave Gardner for the clarification. I listened to Blake's recording on Spotify, and confirmed his corrections, and add a bit more: To summarize, here's how I hear it: Verse 1 line 4: To worship the thing we are told. Verse 1 line 7: For they had connection with heaven, Chorus line 5: He sits at the right hand of the Father, Chorus line 6: On a mediatorial throne.* Verse 2 line 1: When Elijah went up on Mount Carmel, Verse 2 line 3: The D. D. professors and fakers Verse 2 line 6: Is it God or Baal that we'll own? * It's possible that Blake mispronounces this, but I'm convinced the intended meaning is "mediatorial throne," which seems to be a common term in theological writings. Google Book Search finds 282 books that mention it: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q="mediatorial+throne" The Nebuchadnezzar story is from Daniel 3 The Elijah story is from 1 Kings 18 : 20-40 |
