[Verse 1] This world keeps turning, the years roll on Another night fades into another dawn But every Christian knows there’ll come a day When the Lord returns and calls His own away [Pre-Chorus] So I’ll keep watching, I’ll keep holding on Living every day like it won’t be long [Chorus] When Jesus comes, I want to be ready Standing in faith with my heart held steady No fear in my soul when I hear Heaven’s call When Jesus comes, I’ll be ready for it all [Verse 2] There’s work to be done while I’m still down here A world that needs hope and a truth made clear So I’ll love my neighbor, I’ll speak His name And live like tomorrow might never be the same [Pre-Chorus] So I’ll keep watching, I’ll keep holding on Living every day like it won’t be long [Chorus] When Jesus comes, I want to be ready Standing in faith with my heart held steady No fear in my soul when I hear Heaven’s call When Jesus comes, I’ll be ready for it all [Verse 3] I don’t know the hour, I don’t know the day But I know He promised He’s coming someday So I’ll keep my lamp burning bright in the night And walk as a Christian till He comes in sight [Bridge] No more sorrow, no more pain No more tears when He comes again Until that moment, faithful I’ll remain Waiting for Jesus to call my name [Chorus] When Jesus comes, I want to be ready Standing in faith with my heart held steady No fear in my soul when I hear Heaven’s call When Jesus comes, I’ll be ready for it all [Outro] Till that trumpet sounds and this journey is done I’ll keep living ready for when Jesus comes [The End]
