I'm Ready
New Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're ready, then I'm ready
To be totally committed to You
I'm forgetting, those things behind me
[Soprano:] So I can be
[Alto:] So I can be
[Tenor:] I will be
Committed to You, Jesus
[LEAD 1: Choir]
Whatever You need, Lord, You can use me
I'll give You my life my heart and my soul
(My, my, my soul)
I can't forget Lord what You've done for me
By Your grace I've been changed
I'm no longer the same
[CHORUS]
[LEAD 2: Choir]
You never told me that the way would be easy
You even told me I would
(Cry sometimes, but that's alright)
Cause in my weakness, Lord, You made me strong
(It may hurt for a while)
But it won't last long
[CHORUS x2]
[BRIDGE]
[Tenors:] Totally committed, totally committed
[Sop/ Alto:] Totally committed to You, Lord, I'm committed
[repeat]
