I
WELL THE WORLD SAYS HE'S NOT COMING,
AND THEY LIVE LIKE, THERE'S NO END.
BUT DON'T MATTER, WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.
READY OR NOT, HE'S COMING AGAIN.
II
WILL THE BRIDE-GROOM, FIND YOU WAITING
WILL YOUR LIGHT BE, SHINNING FOR HIM
WHEN THAT CALL COMES, GO OUT TO MEET HIM
READY OR NOT HE'S COMING AGAIN.
III
TWO IN A BED, AND ONE WILL BE TAKEN
TWO IN A FIELD, AND ONE WILL BE LEFT
THE SUN WILL BE DARK, THE STARS WILL BE FALLING
READY OR NOT, HE'S COMING AGAIN.
IV
THEY'RE GONNA RUN, TO THE ROCKS AND MOUNTAINS
AND CRY FOR THE ROCKS TO FALL ON THEM
BUT THEY CAN'T. HIDE, FROM GOD'S GREAT JUDGMENT
READY OR NOT HE'S COMING AGAIN.
CHORUS
READY OR NOT, THE LORD IS COMING
READY OR NOT, HE'S COMING AGAIN
WILL YOUR LAMP, BE TRIMMED AND BURNING,
READY OR NOT, HE'S COMING AGAIN.
