Ready to Go

Some people say that faith
Is just the dream of desperate men
I shake my head and say
This life's too short to play pretend
I know that Jesus called my name
He brought my heart to life again
And you can read the look upon my face
And see my sights are set
On a far, far better place

I say, oh, get ready to go
When the trumpet blows
From the Eastern sky
Oh, get ready to go
When they open the door to paradise
That's right, that's right
Don't forgеt your destiny
Sing the song, carry on
And know the bеst is yet to be

Well, now, some people say that love
Will leave you lonely in the end
I felt like that before
I finally found a faithful friend
And heaven works its holy plan
By the mighty power of an unseen hand
There's a shining home for you and me
And we're just reaching out
For the One who holds the key

Oh, get ready to go
When the trumpet blows
From the Eastern sky
Oh, get ready to go
When they open the door to paradise
That's right, that's right
Don't forget your destiny
Sing the song, carry on
And know the best is yet to be

Leave your burdens at the door
You won't need them anymore
The Father's promise will not fail
Leave your tears, leave your fears
And don't you bother to forward your mail

Oh, get ready to go
When the trumpet blows
From the Eastern sky
Oh, get ready to go
When they open the door to paradise
That's right, that's right
Don't forget your destiny
Sing the song, carry on
And know the best is yet to be

Hey, yeah, now, now

Some people say that hope
Is really just a fleeting thing
Because they've never known
The hope that only God can bring
And this might sound too good to be true
Just the way that miracles often do
Amazing grace is close at hand
And this song can't change your life
But I know that Jesus can

Oh, get ready to go
When the trumpet blows
From the Eastern sky
Oh, get ready to go
When they open the door to paradise
That's right, that's right
Don't forget your destiny
Sing the song, carry on
And know the best is yet to be

That's right, that's right
Don't forget your destiny
Sing the song, carry on
And know the best is yet to be

Are you ready, are you ready to go
Yeah now, come on, everybody, get ready

Get ready now, everybody see
Everybody get ready now
You ready, ready, ready
Yeah, are you ready, you ready
Are you ready to go
Mm-hmm, you ready to go
Ready to go
You ready, you ready
Are you ready to go
