I'm Gonna Be Ready

(album: Butterfly Kisses (Shades Of Grace) - 1997)

(Bobby C.)
Right over here now, children
(Talk to me)
Oh, we can talk about anything at all

(What do you see?)
I can see all the lonely people
All of them looking for the answer
All of them listening for that call

(Poverty)
The likes of which I can't seem to remember
(Disparity)
The likes of which I just can't recall

(So how can it be?)
That even with the hope that we have inside us
Still we seem to let those things divide us
That don't amount to anything at all

All your life, you've been prepared
For this single, precious moment in time, oh
When Jesus calls, what will you say?
I'm here and I am Yours and my answer, Lord, is

Yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name

[?]
Right over here, now, children
(Talk to me)
Anything that's on your mind

(What do you see)
What I can see all the hungry children
Being denied a decent meal to fill them
I feel no fault of their own

All it takes is simple faith
To turn the situation around, oh
Love can break the strongest chains
So I'm here and I'm ready and my heart is saying

Yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name

Just let me be Your hands
Let me touch the heart of this broken world
Father, just give me Your command
And I'll do anything, I'll go anywhere

Oh yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing

I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name
Lord, when You call my name

Oh yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able

Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
