Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Jesus is coming to this world again
Coming to judge the hearts of men
Don't let him catch your heart filled with sin
He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Don't let him catch you like He done before
Skippin' and dancin' on the barroom floor
Raisin' up stirment everywhere you go
He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Don't you let him catch you like He done before
Skippin' and dancin' on the barroom floor
A-raisin' up stirment everywhere you go
He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Jesus is coming to this world again
Coming to judge the hearts of men
Don't let him catch your heart filled with sin
'Cause He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
Be ready when He comes, be ready when He comes
Said, be ready when He come, oh Lord
He's coming again so soon
