Author: Richard K. Avery (b. 1934); Donald S. Marsh Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #601 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.8.6 First Line: Ready, Lord, I'm ready, Lord Lyrics: 1 Ready, Lord, I'm ready, Lord,
to follow where you lead.
Show me, Lord, just show me, Lord,
the service you will need.
Ready, Lord, I'm ready, Lord,
I'm ready, come what may,
so call me, Lord, just call me, Lord,
and I'll be on your way.
2 Feed your lambs, I'll feed your lambs
and first of all with food;
give them drink and comfort them
and build their fortitude;
then I'll feed them with the word
you fed me with until
they're ready, Lord, so ready, Lord,
to go and do your will.
3 More than words, yes, more than words,
I know you want from me.
Moving, Lord, I"m moving, Lord,
I'm moving eagerly.
Take my heart, and take my hands,
my feet, my life, my all.
I'm ready, Lord, so ready, Lord,
to follow till I fall. Topics: Invitation and Response; Commitment; Discipleship; Invitation and Response; Reception of Members; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: John 21:15-19 Languages: English Tune Title: READY LORD
