"He's Gettin' Me Ready" Darin & Brooke Aldridge (feat. The Oak Ridge Boys)

Darin & Brooke Aldridge have always towed a fine line between bluegrass revelry and the beauty of their ballads. For some, that would be a difficult divide, but given this duo’s acute instrumental abilities and superior singing skills, they manage to accommodate both. Their terrific new album, the descriptively titled This Life We’re Livin’, offers another ideal example, bringing with it all the rapturous joy that the title implies. The sentiment is assured, and even though they’re only responsible for writing fewer than half of the twelve songs that encompass this set, their effusive emotion and clear commitment make each their own. The Gospel-tinged ramble, He’s Gettin’ Me Ready, is enlivened by guest vocals from the Oak Ridge Boys, and their shared harmonies are well suited to not only rally the faithful but also incite some enthusiasm from everyone else as well

[Chorus]
He's gettin' me ready
For what's waitin' down the road
He's gettin' me ready
To carry this heavy load
Gonna see what Jesus
Has waitin' there for me
He's gettin' me ready for eternity
[Verse 1]
Well, my life was filled with darkness
Sin was takin' me down
I was so busy sinkin' I couldn't see no higher ground
Then Jesus reached out to me
And said, "Just take my hand"
Then he lifted me up and now I understand
[Chorus]
He's gettin' me ready
For what's waitin' down the road
He's gettin' me ready
To carry this heavy load
Gonna see what Jesus
Has waitin' there for me
He's gettin' me ready for eternity
[Verse 2]
Well now, I believe in the world today
The thing we need the most
Is a good dose of The Father
The Son and the Holy Ghost
Just let his love unfold you
Then I know you'll see
He'll get you ready for eternity
[Chorus]
He's gettin' me ready
For what's waitin' down the road
He's gettin' me ready
To carry this heavy load
Gonna see what Jesus
Has waitin' there for me
He's gettin' me ready for eternity
[Chorus]
Yeah, he's gettin' me ready (Gettin' me ready)
For what's waitin' down the road
He's gettin' me ready (Gettin' me ready)
Gonna carry my heavy load
Gonna see what Jesus (See what Jesus)
Has waitin' there for me
He's gettin' me ready for eternity
Gonna see what Jesus
Has waitin' there for me
He's gettin' me ready for eternity
He's gettin' me ready for eternity

I had the pleasure of meeting these folks at a concert at Rory Feck's place near Columbia, TN, south of Nashville, in June 2019. I heard them later on the Grand Ole Opry. They are very talented.

He's getting us ALL ready for eternity. What do you choose? Jesus offers us the free gift of eternal life. If you believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God and confess with your mouth that God has raised Him from the dead, then you will be saved.

@roberthelms There are many old time spirituals based on Hebrew Bible stories.

[@KB9WWN]

I’d love to hear this without the Oak Ridge Boys. It’s fun to see them but doesn’t add anything to the great musicianship.
