Hank Williams Ready to Go Home lyrics

I went to church with my mom once and they had
An evangelist visiting who told the congregation
That he was once a drunk and was doing drugs
At a party, someone was playing Hank Williams
And the song, "Ready To Go Home" started playing

He listened to it for a bit and he said
That the way Hank sang it made chill bumps come up
And that he threw the bottle down and left
He said that one song totally changed his life
So here it is, enjoy!

Ready to go home

There's comin' a day when the world shall melt away
And Jesus shall come to claim His own
No more tears, no pain, no woe, in this wicked world be low
Then will you be ready to go home?


Will you be ready to go, ready to go home
To live with Him up there around the throne
When He says come unto Me, will your soul be clean and free?
Then will you be ready to go home?

In this world of greed and hate will you wait 'til it's too late?
To claim the Saviour for your own
For He's coming someday, to bear your soul away
Then will you be ready to go home?

As you travel day by day, down life's long high way
Are you on the road that leads to wrong?
If you'll just travel in His light and pray both day and night
Then you'll be ready to go home
