Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On time God, yes he is
Job said
He may not come when you want him
But he'll
Be there right on time
I'll tell you
He's an on time God, yes he is
(I believe I'm gon' say that one more time)
He's an on time God, yes he is (oh oh oh)
On time God, yes he is
Job said
He may not come when you want him
But he'll
Be there right on time
I'll tell you
He's an on time God
(Let's get some witnesses in here tonight) yes he is
(Listen)
You can ask
The children of Israel
Trapped at the Red Sea
But that mean old Pharaoh
And his army
They had water all around them
And Pharaoh on their track
(You know what)
From out of nowhere
God stepped in
And built a highway just like that
(Let me tell you)
He's an on time God, yes he is (oh oh oh)
On time God, yes he is
Job said
He may not come when you want him
But he'll
Be there right on time
I'll tell you
He's an on time God (let's get one more witness, ok)
Yes he is
You can ask the five thousand
Hungry souls and fed
On the banks of the river
With two fish and five loaves of bread
What a miracle
He performed for the multitude
What he did
Way back then
He'll do today for me and you
(Let me tell you)
He's an on time God, yes he is (oh oh oh)
On time God, yes he is
Job said
He may not come when you want him
But he'll
Be there right on time
I'll tell you
He's an on time God, yes he is
Do y'all know what I'm talking about tonight?
In the Bible you got a lot of witnesses for being on time
If we called on Daniel tonight in the lion's den
I believe he'd say something like this
He's on time
(He's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time, oh yes he's on time)
Let's call on the Hebrew boys
(He's on time)
They'll tell you
(He's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time, yes he's on time)
Look at Job
(He's on time)
How he waited
(He's on time)
On the Lord
(He's on time, yes he's on time)
But God stepped in
(He's on time)
On time
(He's on time)
On time
(He's on time, oh yes he's on time)
On time
(He's on time)
On time
(He's on time)
On time
(He's on time, oh yes he's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time)
He's on time
(He's on time, oh yes he's on time)
He's an on time God, yes he is (oh oh oh)
On time God, yes he is
Job said
He may not come when you want him
But he'll
Be there right on time
I'll tell you
He's an on time God, healin'
(He's an on time God)
When you need a witness, he's an on time God
He's an on time
(He's an on time God)
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, he is
Yes, yes, yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh
Yes, he is
