Original Key: C Major MP3
A traditional solo piano accompaniment to the classic gospel hymn. Great for either a soloist or choir, and the verses have built-in call and response sections too. The pianist plays stride left hand during the choruses, often in a ragtime style.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
John said the city was just four-square.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
And he declared he'd meet me there.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Oh John, oh John, what did you say?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
That I'd be there at the judgement day.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
If you get there before I do,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John,
tell all my friends I'm coming too.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready, I want to be ready,
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
