lyrics
Based on Matthew 25:1–30
VERSE 1
Now, if we hear there’s a storm that’s near
We’ll want to grab a coat to wear
An umbrella too would be something good
So that we can be prepared
VERSE 2
Well, Jesus said we should plan ahead
Because He’s coming back one day
And those who’ve heard and believed His words
Will be prepared to celebrate
CHORUS
Be ready, be ready
The King is gonna come again
Be ready, be ready
His reign is gonna have no end
VERSE 3
Now, some believe they don’t really need
To think about the judgment day
But they will find they’ve been so unwise
And it will come a day too late
BRIDGE
Dark clouds tell us
Soon it’s gonna rain
But no one knows when Jesus
Is coming back again
VERSE 4
So, here’s the truth in this simple tune:
We should always watch and pray
And we’ll be glad when the Lord comes back
If we’re trusting Him today
