… Come and listen in to a radio station where the mighty hosts of heaven sing
Turn your radio on, turn your radio on, turn your radio on, turn your radio on

Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low and listen to the masters radio
Get in touch with God
Get in touch with God, turn your radio on
