Getting Ready - Maverick City Music x UPPERROOM
Meaning & Inspiration
"Getting Ready," a powerful collaboration between Naomi Raine and Maverick City Music x UPPERROOM, released in late 2020, transcends mere musical expression to deliver a profound theological statement of anticipation for Christ's return. The song masterfully weaves together imagery and scripture to paint a vivid picture of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, a concept central to Christian eschatology as described in Revelation 19:6-9. The lyrical narrative, initiated by Abbie Gamboa, immediately establishes the context of divine invitation and communal worship, framing the event not just as a future occurrence but as an immediate call to readiness. This readiness is not passive waiting, but an active engagement in glorifying God, drawing parallels to the overwhelming might of nature – "the roar of many waters" and "the sound of rolling thunder" – to convey the immensity and awe-inspiring nature of this coming union. Naomi Raine's contributions deepen this sense of reverence, presenting Jesus as the "very word of God" with "fire in His eyes," a powerful depiction of His divine authority and judgment, echoing John's vision in Revelation 1:14-16. The song's core message is a call to unified declaration, with every "kingdom, every nation" and "creed and tribe and tongue" bowing down and crowning Him, a direct reference to the universal worship described in Philippians 2:9-11 and Revelation 7:9.
The recurring refrain, "We're getting ready," serves as the song's central thesis, urging believers to prepare their hearts and lives for this ultimate event. This preparation is rooted in the understanding that Christ is "faithful" and the "blessed hope" for believers, a truth found in passages like Titus 2:13. The repeated declarations in the bridge, emphasizing Jesus' faithfulness, reinforce the certainty of His promises and the unwavering nature of His character. The song's structure, building from individual verses to a unified chorus and expansive refrain, mirrors the gathering of the church, preparing itself as the Bride for her Bridegroom. The "Outro" brings a powerful conclusion, articulating the certainty of seeing Him and knowing "what happens at the end," a confident affirmation of faith in His ultimate triumph and the beauty of His holiness, as anticipated in 1 John 3:2. "Getting Ready" is more than a song; it's a passionate exhortation, grounded in biblical prophecy, that inspires listeners to live with intentionality and unwavering hope for the glorious return of King Jesus.
