VERSE 1
Christ walked the path before us,
In flesh like we all bear;
He showed the power of heaven
For every soul in prayer.
He conquered in our nature,
He lived to show the way;
His life becomes our pattern
For the final sealing day.

CHORUS

Make us a people made ready,
Faithful in trial and fire;
Clinging to Jesus completely,
Pure in our heart’s desire.
Write all Your law deep within us,
Cleanse every sinful trace;
Till we reflect our Redeemer—
A witness to Your grace.

VERSE 2

The judgment work is moving,
Our names before the throne;
Christ blots away our failures
And claims us as His own.
The temple soon will close up,
The Mediator stand;
Yet we shall stand in vict’ry,
Upheld by His right hand.

CHORUS

Make us a people made ready,
Faithful in trial and fire;
Clinging to Jesus completely,
Pure in our heart’s desire.
Write all Your law deep within us,
Cleanse every sinful trace;
Till we reflect our Redeemer—
A witness to Your grace.

BRIDGE

In the darkest hour of earth,
Your saints will shine Your light;
A world in strong delusion
Will see Your truth shine bright.
And through the last great conflict,
Your love they will reveal;
Their loyalty unbroken—
A people You can seal.

Chorus 

Make us a people made ready,
Led by the Lamb we adore;
Standing without a mediator,
But trusting You evermore.
Write all Your law deep within us,
Hold us in Your embrace;
Till we reflect our Redeemer—
And vindicate Your grace.
Till we reflect our Redeemer,
And vindicate Your grace.
