Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be bold trust God live shameless
Lift up your highest praises
Submit yourself to the greatest
God is in control
Throw your doubts out the window
Let His goodness flow
And be a witness to His miracles
But you gotta remain faithful
He’ll never leave nor forsake you
Get ready for your breakthrough
Get Ready to see impossible
He’s making all things new
He’s got a blessing made just for you
I just been praising hard
But I ain’t been praising God
Life has just dealt me cards but
I trust in my dawgs like St. Bernards
Oooh that’ll just leave me broken
Down on my knees and hoping
Seekin the world for tokens
But that will just come with some mopin’
I don’t know why I been trusting in me
When I truly agree that I’ll never succeed
When I’m seeking my needs and I’m seeking my fame
Lust only brings suicide to my brain
Put myself up on a pedastool
Pretend to just live super ethical
It’s true that his grace is immeasurable
Since when was this freedom so edible?
So I’ll keep praising on it
He knows I’m waiting on it
He tells me that I’m worth it
I just give it back in worship
He spoke to darkness and he turned into prime time
So I’mma shout it from the rooftops of my mind
I’m ready for the break through
Yeah
Get Ready for your breakthrough
Get Ready to see impossible
He’s making all things new
He’s got a blessing made just for you
Get Ready for your breakthrough
Get Ready to see impossible
He’s making all things new
He’s got a blessing made just for you
It’s in the atmosphere
Let go of your fears
Get rid of the tears
God still cares
He sees you in despair
He won’t leave you there
Get Ready for your breakthrough
Get Ready to see impossible
He’s making all things new
He’s got a blessing made just for you
Get Ready for your breakthrough
Get Ready to see impossible
He’s making all things new
He’s got a blessing made just for you
Just hold on a little bit longer
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Don’t let the stress get to you
God is working in your favor
Give Jesus the wheel and
Release that pressure you been feeling
Kick back and breathe for a moment
Best believe your time is coming
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
