Lyrics When The Chariot Comes - Brian McKnight

All of these flowers for this friend of ours
It's such a shame
All of these people, all of them equally
Feel the same
There's solace in weeping, looks like he's sleeping
The children say
They say he was ready, I hope he was ready
Is the prayer I'm praying

When Gabriel begins to blow
Victory shall be mine
When the horses get ready to go
Angels won't leave me behind
I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes
I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes

Over the prairie the pallbearers carry
And lay him to rest
Satan's a cheater, Christ is the teacher
And life's the test
Oh, take me higher, Heaven like fire
I can't stay here
I gotta get ready, gotta get ready
Time is drawing near

When Gabriel begins to blow
Victory shall be mine
And when the horses get ready to go
The angels won't leave me behind
I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes
Said I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray my soul you'll keep
If I die before I wake
I pray my soul you'll take
'Cause I gotta be, gotta be ready
When Jesus comes

When the chariot comes
Mmm, mmm
I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes
Said I'm gonna be, got to be ready
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready)
When the chariot comes...
