[Chorus]
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
I'm trying to build my life
Trying to build something steady
I never thought that it would take me this long
But I'm glad God kept me through it all
I know that I'm ready [x3]
[Verse One]
The temporary lust, it never lasted
Matter of fact, it led me to something drastic
Laughing at my past, thinking I was living magic
That disappearing love, I never had it
I went from Criss Angel to that Christ angel
Now I'm at the right table
Reflecting Your light
'cause I'm standing now at the right angle
I soak it in, now that I notice Him
There's hope again, and my mentality's opening
I can't focus on pleasure, cause that'll lead to pain
The best love is measured by how well I abstain
I can kick back, cool, while I focus on my commitment
And point it back to you and the beauty of Your existence
So, I get it...
I'm ready to provide for this love
And leave a spot for you to live all up inside of this love
People talk about those they're having relations with
And I've been growing in the love of my relationship
Lord, I'm ready
[Chorus]
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
I'm trying to build my life
Trying to build something steady
I never thought that it would take me this long
But I'm glad God kept me through it all
I know that I'm ready [x3]
[Verse Two]
You were there when I wasn't man enough
You were looking for me well before my hand was up
When I was tired of trying to be a liar
You helped me thru my desires
And now I know how to handle love
I met you back when you were seventeen
I was working on character, image and self-esteem
You were focused on college
And working on taking next steps
I never truly thought
That you would take away my next breath
Fast forward through ups, downs and in-betweens
It's complicated how I fell in love with simple things
The love witnessed was visible at a distance
And even all that's different
It could never make a difference
You're the
Better version of everything that I was
I look at you and dream about all that I can become
If you're a gift from God
Then I'm thankful for God's givings
Cause I believe a life with you and I is worth livin'
Lord, I'm ready
[Chorus]
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
I'm trying to build my life
Trying to build something steady
I never thought that it would take me this long
But I'm glad God kept me through it all
I know that I'm ready [x3]
[Verse Three]
I've been waiting forever, that's what it seems like
You've gotta work on the vision to get your dreams right
I went from waiting and standing there at the red
To finding a level head, and Christ gave me the green light
I've got a lot to learn, it's never-ending
But I know this love is what I'll always be defending
I'll be spending all my time being a partner and provider
And you can have my heart as it expands and grows wider
And this is not your ordinary love song
This is: “you're the one, and I don't put any woman above” song
I would give you more if I could give it
But I've got a proposition that requires your decision
I know I love you now, I wanna love you forever
I could do it alone, but I wanna live it together
Guided by His wings, to fly, I know that He can carry me
