Are You Ready Songtext

von The Dixie Hummingbirds

Well, are you ready now – Hallelujah!

To see your savior's face,
Or have you got some straightenin' up to do,
Before you leave this place.

And everybody wanna go to heaven,
Really don't nobody wanna die.
But if you're not sure you're ready now,
You should not tell a lie.

Well the ones who's ready now – hallelujah!
To walk those golden streets,
Did see you neighbor this morning, laud,
Did you fear to speak.

And everybody wanna go to heaven,
Really don't nobody wanna die.
But if you're not sure you're ready now,
You should not tell a lie.

Some people go to church every Sunday - so true
Some every once in a while - so true
Some over paid their church dues - so true
Trying to pay for that long last mile - so true
While other take different positions - so true
Like singin' in the choir - so true
But if you're not sure you're ready now,
You should not tell a lie.

Well are you ready now – hallelujah!
To go down in your grave,
Or have you got enough salvation,
To make old Satan behave.

But everybody wanna go to heaven,
Really don't nobody wanna die.
If you're not sure you're ready now
You should not tell a lie.

Well often times we hear these words - so true
I'm living the best I can - so true
But the holy bible tells you - so true
You havta live it free from sin - so true
No matter how hard the task may be - so true
You can make it if you try - so true
But if you're not sure you're ready now,
You should not tell a lie.

Well are you ready now – hallaleujah!
To say you are glory bound,
And you know good and well,
You're still messing around.

Everybody wanna go to heaven,
Really don't nobody wanna die.
But, if you're not sure you're ready now,
Take up ya bed and say it - if you're not sure you're ready now
Sang it one mo' time - if you're not sure you're ready now,
You should not tell a lie.
