Are You Ready? (Creed)

Are You Ready?

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?
