Ready Or Not


Ready or not here I come
Are you prepared today
Do you have me in your heart
Or was I turned away
Are you ready for my coming
With your wedding garment on
Are you watching, are you waiting
Or are you saying, Lord don't come

Did you think I wouldn't come back
Wouldn't fulfill what I said
Did you live just as you pleased
Is your heart now filled with dread
Did you think I didn't mean it
When I said that I'd return
Did you think I'd wait forever
More of me you should have learned

There are questions that need answers
For His coming is drawing nigh
Time is swiftly passing by us
He'll soon split the Eastern sky
If your heart isn't right before Him
You'll have reason for to sigh
But if you're prepared to meet Him
Your heart will then be full of joy

So make no mistake about it
Jesus could come back today
Think about who you are serving
In the judgement, will it pay
If you are not serving Jesus
Make your choice, please don't delay
Bow your head right now before Him
Invite Him in your heart today.
