I Will Be Ready Lyrics

There is a battle raging all across the Earth
Fought by fearless souls who know what truth is worth.
The Lord is gathering an army in his name
To be the witnesses who bear the gospel flame.
I will be ready, I will be ready
To listen when he whispers to my soul.
I will live purely so I will be worthy
Prepared for when he calls for me to go.
Faithful and steady, I will be ready.

This is the time for worthy soldiers to arise.
They stand unyielding with conviction in their eyes.
The Lord is harvesting the noble and the strong
To be the laborers to move this work along.

And I will be ready.
(Onward Christian soldiers)
I will be ready
(Marching as to war.)
To listen when he whispers to my soul.
(With the cross of Jesus going on before.)
I will live purely
(Christ, our royal master)
So I will be worthy.
(Leads against the foe.)
Prepared for when he calls for me to go.
(Forward into battle, see his banners go.)
I will be ready.
(Like a might army moves the Church of God,
Brothers, we are treading where the Saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body, we
One in hope and doctrine
One in charity.)
And I will be ready.
(Onward Christian soldiers)
I will be ready
(Marching as to war.)
To listen when he whispers to my soul.
(With the cross of Jesus going on before.)
I will live purely
(Christ, our royal master)
So I will be worthy.
(Leads against the foe.)
Prepared for when he calls for me to go.
(Forward into battle, see his banners go.)
I will be ready.

I promise when he
Offers to send me
Faithful and steady,
I will be ready.
