I wish we'd all been ready


Sir Cliff Richard OBE

 



Life was filled with guns and war
And every one got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise she turns her head he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

Life was filled with guns and war
And every one got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind?

The Father spoke the demons died
The Son has come and you've been left behind

Don’t get left behind
Don’t get left behind
Don’t get left behind

  1. ...I guess that depends about where you put your priorities.

  2. Dearest Victor,
    The video is not showing and not playing. It reads: Video unavailable. This video is not available...
    We all want to enter eternity but for the words above, it depends where you happen to be born. If you lived through the horrors of any war, got imprisoned and tortured – no ordinary person ever asked for that!
    We never know our fate and may God protect us all and keep us from such tragedies.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    1. Thank you for letting me know, Mariette. Sometimes videos on YouTube do not show in some countries. The song is from Cliff Richard's album Small Corners.

  3. I remember this song from way back in the day, Victor. Its words are more applicable than ever. May we all be ready for His coming. May we share His love with others so they will be ready, too.

    1. Hi Martha,

      I don't know why some people can't access the video. Try the link I gave Mariette above.

      God bless you and yours.

  6. We should be ready but I'm afraid that we aren't. That should be a good incentive to get ready.

    1. People are not "ready" because they have ceased to believe. How many people, I wonder, TRULY believe in a living God who created us all? They prefer to believe we originate from a pool of mud or from a big bang of planets or from apes or monkeys or whatever.

      God bless, bill.

  7. Like others have said, I'm unable to play this video. The lyrics are so profound. More so, because I woke suddenly at 3-something this morning from a dream that the Rapture was taking place, asking God to forgive me.

    1. Sorry about the video, Mevely. See my reply to Mariette above.

      I understand what you mean about your dream. I firmly believe God is speaking to humanity right now. But the world is not ready, or willing, to listen. It's as if humanity is standing shoulder to shoulder in defiance of God.

      Let us pray for His patience and mercy.

      God bless.
