I'm Ready to Go
Ricky Skaggs · Heartbroke [2006]
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
In the darkness of night not a star was in sight
On a highway that leads down below
Then Jesus came in and saved my soul from sin
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
Sinners don't wait before it's too late
He's a wonderful Saviour you know
Well I fell on my knees when I answered my pleas
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go...
