Always Ready

Intro

Give a reason...

Give a reason...

Verse 1

They come with questions, they come with stone

Looking for cracks in the hope we own

We don't back down, we don't run and hide

The Lord is set apart, He's the reason we stand alive

Pre-chorus

Not with noise, not with rage or pride

With gentleness, with respect, we open the door wide

Chorus

Always ready to give an answer

(Give an answer, give an answer)

For the hope that is in us, we will not stay silent

(We will not stay silent)

Christ as Lord in our hearts, we revere His name

When they ask for the reason, we will not be ashamed

We will not be ashamed

Verse 2

The world is shifting, the ground is shaking

Every voice is loud, every truth they're breaking

But the hope we carry isn't built on sand

It's rooted in the One who already took our stand

Pre-chorus

Prepared in the heart, prepared in the mind

Gentle when we speak, but the truth won't compromise

Chorus

Always ready to give an answer

(Give an answer!)

For the hope that is in us, we will not stay silent

Christ as Lord in our hearts, we revere His name

When they ask for the reason, we will not be ashamed

We will not be ashamed

Bridge

In your hearts, set Him apart as Lord

Be ready when they come for more

With gentleness, with respect

The reason for the hope we have

They can question

They can challenge

We will answer

We will stand

The hope remains

The hope remains

Final Chorus

Always ready to give an answer

(Always ready!)

For the hope that is in us, we will not stay silent

Christ as Lord in our hearts, we revere His name

When they ask for the reason, we will not be ashamed

We are ready

We are ready

We will not be ashamed
