Lyrics
Verse 1:
What an honor to be invited
To the marriage of the Lamb,
To come and worship Him
Celebration it’s the joining of
the Bride and the Son, the two becoming one
Pre-chorus:
All the prophecies fulfilled in a moment
So we sing
Chorus:
Like the roar of many waters
Like the sound of rolling thunder
Hallelujah, give him glory
For the marriage of the Lamb is coming
We’re getting ready
Verse 2:
Filled with wonder, as we behold the man
with fire in his eyes, the very Word of God
You are worthy Every kingdom, every nation bowing down
We’ll crown you with many crowns
Pre-chorus
Every creed and tribe and tongue declaring
In unity
Chorus:
Like the roar of many waters
Like the sound of rolling thunder
Hallelujah, give him glory
For the marriage of the Lamb is coming (repeat second half at will)
Post-chorus:
We’re getting ready
We’re getting ready
We’re getting ready for you
Bridge:
We’ll shout ‘til the whole world hears it
We’ll sing ‘til the whole world knows
King Jesus is Faithful
He is the Blessed Hope

Meaning & Inspiration
Getting Ready draws its imagery from the promised marriage supper of the Lamb. The song pictures the Bride and the Son joined in celebration while prophecy reaches fulfillment. Its chorus expands that scene with the roar of many waters, rolling thunder, praise, and glory, closely following the worship described in Revelation 19.
The second verse turns toward the victorious Christ, portrayed with fire in his eyes and identified as the Word of God. Kingdoms, nations, tribes, and tongues bow before him, while many crowns signify his rule. The bridge brings the future hope into present proclamation by naming King Jesus as faithful and as the blessed hope. Together, these images make the song an expectant act of praise: the church prepares for Christ, announces his faithfulness, and looks toward the day when worship gathers every nation around the Lamb.
