When the Chariot Comes Brian McKnight

[Verse 1]
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 in weeping
Looks like he's sleeping, the children say
They say he was ready, I hope he was ready
Is the prayer I'm praying

[Pre-Chorus]
When Gabriel begins to blow
Victory shall be mine (Shall be mine)
When the horses get ready to go
Angels won't leave me behind

[Chorus]
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
(Giddyup)

[Verse 2]
Over the prairie
The pallbearers carry and lay him to rest
Satan's a cheater, 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
Time has drawn near
