Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready to meet Jesus?
Are you where you oughta be
Will he know you when he sees you
Or will he say, "Depart from me"?
Are you ready, i hope you're ready.

Am i ready, am i ready?
Am i ready, am i ready?
Am i ready to lay down my life for the brethren
An' to take up the cross
Will i surrender to the will of god
Or am i still actin' like a boss?
Am i ready, i hope i'm ready.

When destruction cometh swiftly
And has no time to say fare thee well
Have you decided where you wanna be
In heaven or in hell?
Are you ready, are you ready?

Have you got some unfinished business?
Is there somethin' holdin' you back?
Are you thinkin' for yourselves?
Or are you followin' the pack?
Are you ready, I hope you're ready.

Are you ready for the judgement?
Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for Armageddon?
Are you ready for the day of the lord?
Are you ready, I hope you're ready.
