I'm Ready

The years have aged her face but not her soul.
With a wistful gaze she speaks of days of old.
Recalling how she fell in love, like only moments since had past.
And there's a longing in her eyes, for what in this life couldn't last.

And she says "I'm ready. I'm ready to go.
Ready to see my Savior's face. I'm ready to go."
And she says "I'm ready. Lord come take me home.
I'm ready to feel my Love's embrace. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go."

And there's a place we're going
Where healing will restore all that's been scarred
And there's a time that's coming
Where beauty will replace all that's been marred

She lived the truth with passion and with ease.
And when the world was sleeping she was on her knees.
A list of prayers for some she'd never even meet,
And a Bible in her hand for any stranger on the street.

And she said "I'm ready. I'm ready to go.
Ready to see my Savior's face. I'm ready to go."
And she said "I'm ready. Lord come take me home.
I'm ready to feel my Love's embrace. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go."

And there's a place we're going
Where healing will restore all that's been scarred
And there's a time that's coming
Where beauty will replace all that's been marred

She held my hand and looked into my eyes,
But there was no finality in our goodbyes.
She spoke a blessing then her spirit flew away.
She's with her Savior now, and I'll meet her there someday.

And she said "I'm ready. I'm ready to go.
Ready to see my Savior's face. I'm ready to go."
And she said "I'm ready. Lord come take me home.
I'm ready to feel my Love's embrace. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go."

And there's a place we're going
Where healing will restore all that's been scarred
And there's a time that's coming
Where beauty will replace all that's been marred
