I want to be ready; or, walk in Jerusalem just like John

  1. I want to be ready; or, walk in Jerusalem just like John.

I want to be ready, I want to be ready, I want to be ready….

To walk in Jerusalem just like John,

John said the city was just foursquare,

Walk in Jerusalem just like John

And he declared he’d meet me there,

Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

Oh, John! Oh, John! What do you say?

Walk in Jerusalem just like John,

That I’ll be there at the coming day,

Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

When Peter was preaching at Pentecost,

Walk in Jerusalem just like John,

He was endowed with the Holy Ghost

Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

Nobody knows de trouble I see

 

Oh Freedom

 

Tryin’ to get ready

 

And he never said a mumberlin’ word

 

Joshua fit de battle ob Jericho

 

I’m a rollin’

 

Po’ pilgrim of sorrow; or, A city called Heaven

 

Steal Away

 

Ev’ry time I feel the spirit

 

Listen to the Angels shouting

 

My Lord, what a mourning

 

I want to be ready; or, walk in Jerusalem just like John

 

Go down Moses

 

A little more faith in Jesus

 

Deep River

 

'Tis the old ship of Zion

 

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen

 

Swing low, sweet chariot

 

Great Day!

 

A little more faith in Jesus

 

Deep River
