READY TO GO
Some people say that faith
Is just the dream of desperate men
I shake my head and say
This life's too short to play pretend
I know that Jesus called my name
He brought my heart to life again
You can read the look upon my face
And see my sights are set
On a far, far better place
Chorus
Oh get ready to go
When the trumpet blows from the eastern sky
Oh get ready to go
When they open the door to paradise
That's right, that's right
Don't forget your destiny
Sing the song
Carry on
Know the best is yet to be
Some people say that love
Will leave you lonely in the end
I felt like that before
I finally found a faithful friend
Heaven works its holy plan
By the mighty power of an unseen hand
There's a shining home for you and me
And we're just reaching out
To the One who holds the key
Chorus
Leave your burdens at the door
You won't need them any more
The Father's promise will not fail
Leave your tears
Leave your fears
And don't you bother to forward your mail
Chorus
Some people say that hope
Is really just a fleeting thing
Because they've never known
The hope that only God can bring
This might sound too good to be true
Just the way that miracles often do
Amazing grace is close at hand
And this song can't change your life
But I know that Jesus can
Chorus
