I Wannna Be Ready
(Walk in Jerusalem)
Negro Spiritual
Revelation 21:2
"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
To walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
John said the city was jus' foursquare,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
And he declared he’d meet me there,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
To walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
O John, O John, what do you say?
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
That I’ll be there at the comin' day,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
To walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
When Peter was preachin' at Pentecost
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
To walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
If you git there before I do,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
Tell all my friend I'm a comin' too,
Walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready,
To walk in Jerusalem jus' like John.
