Brothers and sisters get ready
For soon as the judgement day
Children your best preparing
For what you are going to say
In the blink of an eye
Like a thief in the night
The sky will be torn open
Let the Spirit sing
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
And at the trumpet sound when the Lord descends
All of us will be His witnesses
Are you ready for?
Are you ready for the return?
Father will You forgive us?
Don't know what we can do
Spirit don't You leave us
We can't make it without you
In the blink of an eye
Like a thief in the night
The sky will be torn open
Let the Spirit sing
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
And at the trumpet sound when the Lord descends
All of us will be His witnesses
Are you ready for?
Ready for?
Ready for the return?
Are you ready for?
Ready for the return?
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
And at the trumpet sound when the Lord descends
All of us will be His witnesses
Are you ready for?
Ready for?
Ready for the return?
Are you ready for
Let your systems get ready for
Are you ready for the return?
Are you ready for the return?
Brothers and sisters get ready
For soon as the judgement day
