From the recording CHRIST IS
This is the first song written by Mr Perkins after his salvation. He will agree, it's not quite biblical, but his elation resonates throughout. James Homer is his grandfather and the man who told a 10 year old Perkins about Jesus. He planted that transforming seed.

My suitcase is packed and my boots are spit-shined - I'm Ready
I'm feeling so light, I'm almost out of my mind - I'm Ready
(chorus)
I've waited so long for this day to arrive
What a wonderful day to be alive - I'm Ready
I've said my good-byes, now, I’m on my way home
There’ll be James Homer standing near the marble white throne
(chorus - beautiful)
(bridge)
Blessed is me who caught the headlines and did a one-eighty in time
Some of my friends will be leaving with me and some will be left behind
My face has acquired a permanent smile - 'cause I'm Ready
And to think, I'd been living so long in denial - Now, I'm Ready
(chorus)
