Don Gibson - Be Ready Lyrics

Don Gibson Lyrics

"Be Ready"

Well you think you got plenty time to get ready to die
Before the good Lord calls you home
You think you got plenty time to make yourself a good name
Before the good Lord calls you home

You say Lord (Lord I ain't ready)
When you hear Him calling your name
You say Lord (Lord I ain't ready)
But He'll take you just the same

(So you better get a new start and find a new way
And live a whole lot better from day to day
And be ready when the good Lord calls you home)

Well you thing you got plenty time to get ready to die
Before the good Lord calls you home
You think you got plenty time to pave the way with a prayer
Before the good Lord calls you home

You say Lord you say Lord I ain't ready, ain't ready
When you hear Him calling your name
You say Lord I ain't ready but He'll take you just the same

(So you better get a new start and take a good look
And do a whole lot of reading in the Holy Book
And be ready when the good Lord calls you home)

You say Lord, I ain't ready, wait a minute
When you hear Him calling your name
You say Lord I ain't ready but He'll take you just the same
But He'll take you just the same wait a minute
But He'll take you just the same
But He'll take you just the same
