Chicago Mass Choir – I Pray We'll Be Ready Lyrics – New Today Lyrics

Verse (Leader)
I pray we’ll all be ready (2 times)
I pray we’ll all be ready for his return
I pray that we’ll get our business straight
So we can all meet at the gate
I pray we’ll all be ready for his return

Two men walking by the road
One of them had a heart pure as gold
The sky was split and the pure in heart raptured away
But one of the other one left behind who did not purge
his heart in time
Cried to the Lord but for him it is too late
I pray that we’ll all be ready

Chorus (Choir repeats while Leader Ad lib)

I pray we’ll all be ready for his return

Verse (Leader)
Man and wife in their bed
One of them by the spirit lead
The rapture came and took that one above
The other one rose on the next day to found their love
one raptured away
Oh what a way to lose the one you love
I pray we’ll all be ready
