I Want To Be Ready When You Come

Описание: Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
So many people around me Lord
Are trying hard to gain
A share of this world's pleasures while
They scorn your holy name
How sad to see when death draws near
They've lived their lives in vain
Not caring to be ready when you come

[Verse 2]
I thank you Lord for saving me
From all my sin and shame
I wouldn't trade this peace and joy
For all life's wealth and fame
I want to spend eternity
Just praising thy great name
And I want to be ready when you come

[Chorus]
I want to be ready when you come when you come
I want to walk on streets of gold and live in my new home
I want to see your blessed face and hear you say well done
I want to be ready when you come

[Verse 3]
This life is but a vapor Lord
There's heartache and there's pain
Just like a flower it blooms but then
It's soon gone again
My hope is built upon the rock
That ever shall remain
And I want to be ready when you come

[Verse 4]
There are signs around us everywhere
We know you're coming soon
And in that place that you've prepared
For everyone there's room
So every day dear Lord I pray
You'll keep my heart in tune
For I want to be ready when you come

[Chorus]
I want to be ready when you come when you come
I want to walk on streets of gold and live in my new home
I want to see your blessed face and hear you say well done
I want to be ready when you come

[Verse 5]
Now should there be one soul that's listening
To these words I say
And you don't know the Savior or
The peace and joy he brings
Accept him in your heart right now
To be your Lord and King
I pray that you'll be ready when he comes

[Chorus]
Oh Lord I want to be ready when you come when you come
I want to walk on streets of gold and live in my new home
I want to see your blessed face and hear you say well done
I want to be ready when you come
