The lyrics of "Are You Ready" by The Original U.S.A. Gospel Choir convey the message of faith and the belief in a higher power who remains constant and faithful in times of struggles and battles. The song reminisces on past battles fought, and acknowledges the presence of the higher power throughout. It emphasizes on the unwavering faithfulness of the divine, who hears the cry of those who are down and broken and lifts them up. The song then goes on to pledge allegiance to the divine who is faithful, true, in control, and the maker of all things.
The first two stanzas of the song set the tone of hope and promise that the divine will never leave its worshippers trying to endure difficult times alone. The lines "Lead me, guide me, I want to walk in your ways" show the longing for the divine's guidance and direction while asking for strength to endure. The chorus' repetition of the phrase "You are faithful" reinforces the belief in the divine's faithfulness in keeping promises and standing true. The last part of the song talks about the divine's power over sin and how the divine can make everything new, taking away the shame and the blame, standing in the gap, and saving souls.
The song is an inspiration to the faithful, and its message is clear that divine faithfulness is an assurance in this life's struggles. It is not just a declaration of God's faithfulness, but a reminder of the continuity of divine support in one's life.

Your love attracted me towards you
You took my shame, took the blame, called my name even stood in the gap
You took on my guilt and attributed it to your self, and you obediently accepted the consequences for our actions and interceded for us.
When sin had me trapped
When I was caught in wrongdoing
In my struggles, my fight, my lows, my dark night
During times of difficulties and mental/emotional pain
You're faithful and true
You are trustworthy and authentic
Making everything new
You make all things new and fresh
You're in control
You control things
And you saved my soul
You saved my spiritual being
My creator, my maker
You are the one who fashioned me
there is no one greater
No one else is greater than you are

I hadn't heard this song since being a small child. I sometimes would sing the chorus (Be ye also ready.....ready ready ready) but never knew the song or who sang it. Thanks for blessing us with this classic.
