Lyrics
Verse 1
Mama on the floor in the front room Grandma cryin' out, somebody pray Uncle on the phone hands just shakin' Lord, send help, send help our way Sirens in the distance growin' louder Red and blue runnin' up the wall Whole house holdin' onto Jesus Hearts racin' when we hear that call
Chorus
We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first Every breath,every word Every heartbeat, every verse When the ambulance rolled up We were shoutin' in the yard Splashed holy water on the helpers Cover them, God We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first Yeah, the power in this house broke fear Broke the curse when the doors swung wide We were reachin' for Your hem Holy water on the drivers Use their hands, Lord Use them
Verse 2
They stepped out in their bright white jackets Stethoscopes and tired eyes We saw more than just some strangers We saw angels in disguise Auntie grabbed that little bottle Kept it by her bed for years Shook it like a battle rattle Jesus, take away these fears
Pre-Chorus
We ain't wild We just worryin' We ain't crazy We just scared But if these are the ones You send, Lord Then we gonna bless 'em in the air
Chorus
We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first Every breath, every word Every heartbeat, every verse When the ambulance rolled up We were shoutin' in the yard Splashed holy water on the helpers Cover them, God We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first Yeah, the power in this house broke fear Broke the curse when the doors swung wide We were reachin' for Your hem Holy water on the drivers Use their hands, Lord Use them
Bridge
(Oh) We anointed the wheels We anointed the doors We anointed the shoes That ran in on our floors We anointed the eyes That were checkin' every sign Said, Jesus in the monitor Jesus in the line Choir: Bless the medics! Leader: Bless the medics Choir: Bless this family! Leader: Bless this family Choir: Bless the neighbors! Leader: Let 'em see Your hand outpoured All together in the driveway Turned that street into a choir Holy water, Holy fire
Chorus 3
We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first Every breath Every word Every heartbeat When the ambulance rolled up We were shoutin' in the yard Splashed holy water on the helpers Cover them, God We called 9-1-1 But we called on the Lord first And His mercy rode along in that nurse
