Lyrics
Heaven, Get Ready © 2003/Tim Keesee/James Richardson Vocals/Arrangement by Eddy Kitchen (Chorus) (to be sung accapella) Heaven, get ready… I’m on my way… Those were the last words… I heard my Daddy say… Heaven, get ready… Save a place at the throne… There’s a new face in Glory… Since Daddy’s gone home… (Verse 1) Now, Daddy was quiet He never said much Not a drinker or a gambler Or anything such A loving husband and father So faithful was he He was the best man He knew how to be (Verse 2) (with obo added) He worked hard at his trade Almost forty long years He earned a good living And respect from his peers Time crippled his body Though his mind was still strong And Mama helped him each day Despite aches of her own… (Repeat Chorus) (Verse 3) Lord, watch over Daddy Each night I would pray Now, it’s me, Daddy’s watching And his pain’s gone away On the day Jesus called him I was at his bedside To witness the last breath As he saw the light… (Verse 4) Now Daddy, there’s something I want you to know I’ll always love you And I’ll miss you so You’re forever a hero To me and my son And, I’ll see you in Glory When my life here…is done (Repeat Chorus) (to be sung accapella)
