I Pray We Will All Be Ready | M. L. Cribbs | Deeper Life Bible Church Choir | Mallam, Ghana

The lyrics and music of this song were composed by the late Marlowe E. Cribbs (d. 2019) of the Greater Harvest Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Cribbs insisted that effective music was the segue for the Word of God to flow with power and authority. The song he composed was first sung by the Chicago Mass Choir in 2005. He is pictured at 3:45 in the video. This piece was sung at the Deeper Life Bible Church Leaders Strategic Conference in April 2020. The ministry of the Deeper Life Choir is to edify souls and reassure persons of God's mercies and grace. Their motto is from The Epistle to the Hebrews 12:14: "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." The lyrics are as follows: I pray we'll all be ready (2x) I pray we'll all be ready for his return I pray that we'll get our business straight So we can all meet at the gate I pray we'll all be ready for his return Two men walking by the road One of them had a heart pure as gold The sky was split and the pure in heart raptured away But one of the other one left behind who did not purge his heart in time Cried to the Lord but for him it is too late Man and wife in their bed One of them by the Spirit lead The rapture came and took that one above The other one rose on the next day to found their love one raptured away Oh what a way to lose the one you love I pray that we'll give our hearts a search So that we won't be playing church I pray we'll all be ready for his return I pray we'll get down on our knees So the Lord can wash us clean I pray we'll all be ready for his return No man knows the day, nor the hour No man knows the day, nor the hour You must be, you gotta be You gotta be ready, you gotta be ready #jesuslovesyou #blessedhope #jesussaves
