When the stars begin to fall

Representative Text

Chorus:
My Lord, what a morning,
My Lord, what a morning,
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall.

1 You'll hear a sinner mourn
To make the nations underground
Look in my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Chorus]

2 You'll hear a gambler groan
To make the nations underground
Look in my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Chorus]

3 You'll hear a sinner pray
To make the nations underground
Look in my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Chorus]

4 You'll hear a Christian shout
To make the nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Chorus]

5 You'll hear a Christian sing
To make the nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Chorus]
