510. I Want to Be Ready (Walk in Jerusalem Just Like John)

Refrain:
I want to be ready,
I want to be ready,
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John.

1 O John, O John, what did you say?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
That you'd be there on Judgment Day!
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]

2 Some come crippled, and some come lame,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Some come walkin' in Jesus name,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]

3 Now, brother, mind how you step on the cross,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Your foot might slip and your soul get lost,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]

4 If you get there before I do,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Tell all my friends I'm acomin', too.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. [Refrain]
