Wanna Be Ready
Words and Music by Terry Scott Taylor

Times Are Very Troubled
Just like Jesus said
So I wanna be prepared when the master calls
And not have to hide my head
I don't want to feel no shame
When I hear ol' Michael cry
When the trumpet sounds and Lord comes down and I meet Him in the sky
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
So very ready when Jesus comes
Some day the clouds will part
And I know I'll see the Sun
But I know a lot of people
Who are gonna be on the run
So I read the holy Bible
And I let the spirit lead
And I'll live for the Lord until he comes to set me free indeed
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
So very ready when Jesus comes
North, West, East to South
He'll judge the nations with a sword in His mouth
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
May it be tomorrow, may it be tonight
Times Are Very Troubled
Just like Jesus said
So I wanna be prepared when the master calls
And not have to hide my head
I don't want to feel no shame
When I hear ol' Michael cry
When the trumpet sounds and Lord comes down and I meet Him in the sky
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
So very ready when Jesus comes
