Are You Ready? (Creed)




Post-grunge alternative metal is not my language.  But hey, in the Acts of the Apostles, everyone understood languages that were not their own.  So, in the spirit of the radical transformation Pentecost brings, I share with you a song by the hard rock Christian band Creed called “Are You Ready?”  Are you ready to be transformed?

Hey, Mr. Seeker, hold onto this advice
If you keep seeking you will find
Don’t want to follow
Down roads been walked before
It’s so hard to find unopened doors

Are you ready?  Are you ready?
For what’s to come… Oh, I said, are you ready?
Are you ready for what’s to come?

Hey, Mr. Hero, walking a thin, fine line
Under the microscope of life
Remember your roots my friend
They’re right down below
‘Cause heroes come and heroes go

Are you ready?  Are you ready?
For what’s to come… Oh, I said, are you ready?
Are you ready for what’s to come?

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the change in life that’s soon to come
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the change in life that’s soon to come
Your life has just begun
Life has just begun

Are you ready?
