Ready Or Not
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp.
If you're not living like you should be living
You better give all that you've got
'Cause when you hear the trumpet sound
You're already off the ground, ready or not
If your diary is not all what it should be
You'd better rearrange the plot
'Cause in the twinkling of an eye
There'll be Jesus in the sky, ready or not
Time has come to change from cold to hot
By the time you see Him there
You'll be flying through the air, ready or not
So if you're waiting for just the right occasion
You'd better give your finest shot
You got no time left to lose
Turn to God or sing the blues, ready or not
If you're not living like you should be living
You'd better give all that you've got
Cause by the time you see his face
You'll be on your way to space, ready or not
Time has come to change from cold to hot
'Cause in the twinkling of an eye
There'll be Jesus in the sky, ready or not
ready or not
ready or not, ooh, ooh
ready or not
By the time you see him there
You'll be in the middle of the air
ready or not
ready or not
ready or not, ooh, ooh...
Special Kind Of Love
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp.
It took a special love
To take this heart and break it
It took a special love
To piece by piece remake it
With no hope in sight
In the nick of time
In my darkest night you came
And this broken man
Received a mended heart
My life will never be the same
It took a special kind of love
To save a heart like mine
It took a special kind of love
A special kind of love
It took a special love
To break through my defenses
It took a special love
To bring me to my senses
With no hope in sight
In the nick of time
In my darkest night you came
And this broken man
Received a mended heart
My life will never be the same
It took a special kind of love
To save a heart like mine
It took a special kind of love
A special kind of love
When It's Over
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp.
Some men just worry others just fret
They're hungry for something they never get
Living ain't easy and dying comes slow
When my life is over, I'm ready to go
Jesus said He's coming again
And He'll be with us till the very end
When it's over, it's over
I'll be standing in the promised land
When it's over, it's over
I'll be safely in the Master's hand
Some love their money, some love their pride
Weekdays they're devils, sundays they cry
I'm not judge 'cause the jury's still out
But Jesus is coming that's beyond doubt
Jesus said He's coming again
And He'll be with us till the very end
When it's over, it's over
I'll be standing in the promised land
When it's over, it's over
I'll be safely in the Master's hand
When it's over, it's over
When it's over
When it's over, it's over
I'll be standing in the promised land
When it's over, it's over
It's over
When it's over, it's over
All the Losers Win
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp.
You say «winners don't need a crutch
Only losers could believe in such»
You don't need God, you don't need anything
You'll face life alone and take what the future will bring
Here's to all the losers that lose all guilt and sin
Here's to life in Jesus, where all of the losers win
You think I've missed what success can bring
I miss success like trees miss cold in spring
You think that all is far too much to give
That's what Jesus gave so that this loser could live
Here's to all the losers that lose all guilt and sin
Here's to life in Jesus, where all of the losers win
Here's to all the losers that lose all guilt and sin
Here's to life in Jesus, where all of the losers win

Fill Me Lord
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
Take this man made of clay
Teach me Lord to obey
Take this life, so easily torn
Take this man
Fill me Lord
Teach me Lord to believe
How to give not receive
Take this heart, so insecure
Take this man, fill me Lord
Fill me Lord
Sometimes I feel so downright mean
This heart can be so cold and worn
Your Spirit makes me feel so new and clean
When You take me, You break me
Fill me Lord
Teach me Lord to leave my past
For the future comes far too fast
When it's time to cut that silvery chord
Take this man
Fill me Lord
Fill me Lord
Fill me Lord
Let the Whole World Sing
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
From the beginning You spoke the Word
And from creation Your song was heard
You taught the stars in the sky to sing,
Almighty Father let everything you've made
Give praises to Your holy name
Let everything on earth proclaim
Let the whole world sing
Sing hallelujah to the King
Let the whole world sing
Lift up your voices, let them ring, let them ring
The angels came to announce his birth,
A Savior born to redeem the earth
The sky was darkened when Jesus died,
Creation watched as He sacrificed for me
And yet He rolled the stone away,
Triumphant over death and grave
Let the whole world sing
Sing hallelujah to the King
Let the whole world sing
Lift up your voices, let them ring, let them ring
All of my life I looked for the reason You created me
I realized my life was given just to sing a song of praise to Thee
Let the whole world sing
Sing hallelujah to the King
Let the whole world sing
Lift up your voices let them ring
Let the whole world sing
Sing hallelujah to the King
Let the whole world sing
Lift up your voices let them ring, let them ring
Ring
Let the whole world sing
In His Love
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
In His love
There's a place where you can always hide away
In His love
There's no need to run, no need to be afraid
If the world's a sea of trouble
You can always rise above
If you know that you are safely
In His love
In His love
Where all pain and sorrow quickly fade away
In His love
There's a bright tomorrow just beyond today
If your heart is filled with sorrow
And it's all you can think of
There is still a new tomorrow
In His love
His love is never far away
Sometimes hard to see
If we would take the time to pray
Love would flow through you and me
In His love
In His love
There's a place where you can
Watch this world go by
In His love
There's no need to hurry everything's on time
If your heart is filled with sorrow
And it's all you can think of
There is still a tomorrow
In His love
Everlasting Love
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
When tender hearts hold broken dreams
Somehow You use broken things
To teach those tender hearts to sing
Of everlasting love
When all around is cold and gray
The ice soon melts, the gray soon fades
Your Spirit takes them all away
In everlasting love
I can't repay Your love
That's understood
I'll try each day my Lord
Yo do all I know I should
When days are filled with trials and tests
You turn those trying times to rest
Through it all my life is blessed
With everlasting love
I can't repay Your love
That's understood
I'll try each day my Lord
Yo do all I know I should
When tender hearts hold broken dreams
Somehow You use broken things
To teach those tender hearts to sing
Of everlasting love
You Can't Run From Thunder
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
I met you in a café
On a nameless street
And while I drank my coffee
You began to speak
You said blind ambition
That's your only plan
You don't need God or country
'Cause they just make demands
You can't run from thunder
You can never hide
You can't run from thunder
You hear it everytime, hear it everytime
There are worldly heroes
They make this earth a throne
They run from light to darkness It turns a heart to stone
Addicted to society
Tears the soul apart
We've got to fight it on our knees
God can change a heart
You can't run from thunder
You can never hide
You can't run from thunder
You hear it everytime, hear it everytime
That's The Way God Planned It
Mission of Mercy - © 1983 Paragon Music Corp. and Efenbee Music
Why can't we be humble like the Good Lord said
He promised to exalt us and show us the way
Why are men so greedy
When there is so much left
All things are God given
All things have been bless
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
To be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
To be
Let not your heart be troubled
Let the suffering cease
Learn to love one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd just be humble
Just like the Good Lord said
He promised to exalt us and show us the way
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
To be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
To be
