Wake up, keep your lamp lit. A sunny worship song about being ready for Jesus' return — soft hands, eyes on His face, watching for the light of day.

Ready by Day — Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus may come At any time So I keep my heart Right and kind I won’t push my brother I won’t play mean I want a clean house And a gentle dream
Pre-Chorus
Wake up, wake up Keep your lamp lit Hold on tight Don’t miss it
Chorus
Ready by day Ready by day When He comes, I will say I was ready by day Ready by day Ready by day With a loving heart I will stand that way
Verse 2
I won’t run wild I won’t waste my time I won’t chase silly things That blur my mind I’ll share my bread I’ll speak with grace I’ll keep my hands soft And my eyes on His face
Bridge
If the night gets long I will not sleep away I will watch for Jesus Till the light of day
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Jesus is coming back, and He told us to be ready. Being ready isn't about being scared — it's about walking close to Him today, with our little lamps lit by His Spirit. When we love Him each day, we'll be glad to see Him on that day.
