READY AT TWENTY 6
VERSE 1
I'll be ready at twenty ready for the war
l'll be ready at twenty for the work of God
There is nothing I can't do for the Lord
There is nowhere that's too far
No battles I can't fight
Ready at twenty
VERSE 2
Let’s give ourselves to this glorious mission unreservedly
Let us never think that our time, our strength, our families are our own
Let us dedicate them all to God and to His work
Let us give ourselves wholly that our profiting may appear
CHORUS
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty, ready for the war
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
VERSE 3
Are we justified in staying here while so many are perishing
Without means of grace in other lands
We must take every chance of doing good to the lost
We'll be laboring, traveling day and night
CHORUS
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
VERSE 4
We must instruct, we must teach, exhort, rebuke and preach the word
With all long suffering and an anxious desire for the lost
We must be instant in prayer for the pouring out
Of the sweet Holy Spirit upon all the people
CHORUS
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty, ready for the war
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
VERSE 5
Surely It is worthwhile
To push ourselves with all our might
In promoting the gospel
And the kingdom of our Christ
CHORUS
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty, ready for the war
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
VERSE 6
God is gracious; do not run away from him
A few more days, and our work down here will be done
When it's done, it's done for eternity
Your life spent is irrevocable
It remains to be contemplated yeah, through all eternity
CHORUS
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty, ready for the war
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
VERSE 7
The days go by, and they are gone forevermore
It is too late to mend the days that are past
Each day must be marked with such usefulness
And be clothed with such a garment
That we would wish to wear for all eternity
CHORUS
l'll be ready at twenty, ready for the war
Ready at twenty
l'll be ready at twenty for the work for God
Ready for war, ready to fight
Ready to serve, ready to work
Ready for missions, ready to travel
Ready for building, church planting
Ready for preaching, ready for teaching
Ready for soul winning, ready for war
