Stand Ready

In an hour when you think not the call may come
Someone has need of you,
In an hour when you think not you’ll leave this home
To fly beyond the blue
In an hour when you think not time and doubt
Will come to a swift end
In an hour when you think not your clock may run out
Are you ready, friend?

Ready to stand before that great throne
To meet the One who died
Ready to meet the deeds you’ve done
Read by the crucified
In that hour when you think not the trump may sound
Will you shout and cheer?
Or fall upon the cold, hard ground
Trembling in your fear

Stand ready friend, with your armor in place
For then you need not fear
Armed by the power of His grace
There is no greater gear
Stand ready for no man can know
His final day or hour
But if we’re washed within Life’s flow
Then death will have no power

because you do not know
on what day your Lord
will come. Matt. 24:42
