Alan Jackson - When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder Lyrics






When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved word shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

On that bright and cloudless morning
when the dead in Christ shall rise
And the glory of his resurrection share
When His chosen ones shall gather
to their home beyond the skies
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

    I traveled through Newnan, GA, earlier this year and observed tthis place where Alan Jackson was born, to be a beautiful place. Alan sings this song very similarly to the way we do in east Tennessee.

    This favorite was inspired by disappointment. Written and composed by James Black in 1893. He was calling roll on day for a youth meeting at his Methodist church in Williamsport, PA. One name didn't answer-young Bessie, the daughter of an alcoholic. Crestfallen at her absence, James commented, "O God, when my own name is called up yonder, may I be there to respond!" Returning home, a thought struck him while opening the gate. entering the house, he went to the piano and wrote the words and music easily. Now, isn't it important that all of us answer the call to Jesus and look forward to Heaven! All of us have work to get done before
    the end comes, march on and be sure you have a place in Heaven!
    Blessings!

  20. R.... M....

    I am there. He is the word

  21. M.... M....

    I really do enjoy hymms like this one. They really touch my life and bring peace! Who else feels the same?

  22. E.... B....

    Great old hymn... The kind we sang at the Pentecostal church I attended as a child. I'm not going to begrudge you your beliefs in the Almighty, even if I do find it to be untrue like all the other religions. Don't misunderstand me, I do believe in a god, THE god. But no dogma, no nonsense, just the god. And that god isn't the name of the Almighty, it's the title.

    Hebrews 11:16        But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
    1 Corinthians 2:9     But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

    I too am one of 14 children. My mother’s first two children Charles and Anne died in infancy. She was told not to think of having any more of a family. She didn’t take the advice of the medical profession. She had 12 more healthy children. Youngest is now late 40s - all healthy.
    Praise God . Save the babies, help the ladies , stop the crazies doing abortion !

    S.... S....

    My wife, a Filipina, has 13 siblings. Praise the Lord.

    I'm sorry to be a stickler, but the plural of child isn't childs, but rather children.

  77. J.... M....

    "When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more, and the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair"
    The Day of the Lord; the Last Day; the day Christ returns.
    The end of time, the end of earth, the end of night.
    This is true gospel. No longer taught in the western Christian churches. Western Christian churches are teaching a new doctrine: a secret drive-by pickup in the night, then the Land of Canaan (that named itself Israel in 1948) ruling over the earth and folks getting second chances. It's not biblical.
    Jesus said He would return AFTER the tribulation, on The Last Day.
    Peter said "And the earth, and all the works therein, shall be burnt up. The very elements shall melt with fervent heat."
    No one is going to be ruling over anybody. There won't be any earth.
    This new doctrine that the Western Christian churches are teaching, teaches that Jesus is a liar.
    Jesus warned us about false teachers, and false doctrine.
    Read your Bible, folks.
    And not the ones that not only re-word but DELETE lots of scripture.
    Read your King James Bible, and find truth. Read what Jesus said.

    Sometimes You can't just help it; You'll just see for yourself that your spirit is being lifted. Praise to God for inspiring music like this!!

  85. g.... b....

    I think you are just looking for attention. I do not know what you have gone through to make perceive such horrendous falsehood that there is no God or heaven for that matter but God knows everything and this is an opportunity for you to surrender to Him! God be with you!

    The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." Psalm 14:1

    The bible is a deception. The Emperor Has No Clothes

    And the tyrant, the charlitain, & the fool, will cry for censorship.

  92. S.... ....

    Ask and you shall receive:-
    Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, I pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. I pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name I pray that you cure them all, hallowéd be thy name. Amen

  93. S.... ....

    To spread the word:- religion is the most pernicious dangerous force there is.
    we need to shed it before it destroys us.
    Emoting before this sycophantic trash, and groveling before an imaginary entity for your whole life (and then hoping to be able to do it for 'eternity') is retrogressive, silly, and ultimately fatal for the human race.
    I click to let you know this.
    Peace.

  94. M.... T....

    Why did you even click on the song, just shut up!

  95. S.... ....

    There is not a grain of evidence that there is an "up yonder" - it has the same veracity as Hogwarts.
    And as for there being a "roll-call" well!! What utter nonsense to believe that there is some kind of guardian "up yonder", just inside the "pearly gates" with a list of all the humans, checking them in.
    (I will not be there, of course ;-) I will be elsewhere!)
    Although I ridicule this stuff, there is a serious side - religion is the most pernicious dangerous force there is.
    Peace on earth.
