Are You Ready?
by Graham Kendrick

Album: The Acoustic Gospels
by Graham Kendrick

If the lights go out
And the sky falls in
If the days grow dark
And the sun goes dim
Are you ready

If the waters rise
And the mountains smoke
And the fish can't swim
Where the oceans choke
Are you ready

If you hear the song
Of a heavenly land
Will you learn the tune
Strike up the band
Are you ready, are you ready

If a voice cries out
From the wilderness
Saying change your ways
Clean up that mess
Are you ready, are you ready

Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before

On the Jordan bank
Stood a freak called John
He said; 'He's over there,
I'm not the one' Are you ready,
Are you ready?

To the hypocrites
And the religious fakes he said;
'Get outta here you brood of snakes,
are you ready?

Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before
Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before

If you've seen the state
Of your selfish heart
And you're desperate for
A brand new start
Are you ready, are you ready?

If the whistle blows
And your time is up
The curtain falls
And your heart stops!
Are you ready, are you ready?

Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before
Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before

Bridge:
Never felt as late as this before
Like God come knocking
On the world's front door
Never known a time like this before
Are we all being sifted on the threshing floor
Are you ready?

Oh the water's deep
And the river's wide
And there's only one way
To the other side
There's a bridegroom coming
For a pure bride
Won't you step down
And be baptised

Crowd
Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before
Oh oh, it never felt this late before
Oh oh, never felt this late before
