Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
I want to be ready when Jesus comes.
I want to be ready when Jesus comes.
One day the Lord's gonna crack the sky,
And the dead in Christ shall rise;
I want to be ready when Jesus comes.

[Verse:]
No man knows the day or the hour
When the Lord will surely come,
That's why you need to get your house in order,
Don't let Him catch you with your work undone;
You've got to get ready, oh yes, when Jesus comes.

[Chorus]

[Vamp 1:]
I want to be ready

[Vamp 2:]
Ready
