When the Chariot Comes

All of these flowers for this friend of ours, it's such a shame
 All of these people, all of them equally feel the same
 There's solace and weeping
 "It looks like he's sleeping" the children say
 They say he was ready, I hope he was ready is the prayer I'm praying
 When Gabriel begins to blow, victory shall be mine (shall be mine)
 When the horses get ready to go, the angels won't leave me behind
 I'm gonna be,
 got to be ready when the chariot comes
 (when the chariot, when the chariot comes)
 I'm gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes
 Over the prairie the pallbearers carry and lay him to rest
 Satan's a cheater, but Christ is the teacher and life's the test
 Oh Lord take me higher, never liked fire, I can't stay here
 I gotta get ready, gotta get ready, the time has drawn near
 When Gabriel begins to blow, victory shall be mine (shall be mine)
 When the horses get ready to go, the angels won't leave me behind
 I'm gonna be,
 got to be ready when the chariot comes
 (when the chariot, when the chariot comes)
 I'm gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes
 As I lay me down to sleep,
 I pray my soul You'll keep (my soul You'll keep)
 If I die before I wake, I pray my soul You'll take
 'Cause I gotta be,
 gotta be ready when Jesus comes, when the chariot comes
 I'm gonna be,
 got to be ready when the chariot comes
 (when the chariot, when the chariot comes)
 Said I'm gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes
 (Got to be ready) When the chariot comes
 (Got to be ready) When the chariot comes
 (Got to be ready) When that chariot comes
 (Got to be ready) When the chariot comes
