Pacific Gas & Electric: Are You Ready?

I was out of town this weekend and I couldn’t get my 3G connection to work due to a recent virus problem, so I missed my song for yesterday. I figured out that if I only miss one song (which was Saturday), I can have my second year anniversary of this blog coincide with the 700th post – but I can’t miss any more. So I am sneaking in my Spiritual Sunday post, which is also a “one hit wonder,” at the very last moment.

Pacific Gas & Electric only had one Top 40 hit – the spiritually charged “Are You Ready?” The song peaked at #14 on the Hot 100 in 1970 and at #49 on the R&B Singles chart.

Lyrics

There’s rumors of war
Men dying and women crying
If you breathe air, you’ll die
Perhaps you wonder the reason why
But wait! Don’t you worry
A new day is dawning
We’ll catch the sun, and away we’ll fly

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone’s coming to take you home
And if you’re ready, then He’ll carry you home
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

People say that He won’t come
And I don’t know what say you
But if He should, would you be the one?
I’ve got a little question I’d like to ask you
Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone’s coming to take you home
And if you’re ready, then He’ll carry you home
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Brothers and sisters, I have many
Stumbling along to do their thing
Love is a song, it’s better than any
It’s better for music, it’s easy to sing

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone’s coming to take you home
And if you’re ready, then He’ll carry you home
(Yes, I’m ready.)
Are you ready? (Yes, I’m ready.)
Are you ready? (Yes, I’m ready.)
I’ve got to know, yeah (Yes, I’m ready.)
You sound real good (Yes, I’m ready.)
Are you ready? (Yes, I’m ready.)
Gonna be sunshine again (Yes, I’m ready.)
And the flowers growing (Yes, I’m ready.)
Children playing (Yes, I’m ready.)
Gonna be alright (Yes, I’m ready.)
You’ve got to be ready (Yes, I’m ready.)
I know you’re ready (Yes, I’m ready.)
Say it loud one more time (Yes, yes I’m ready.)
Oh, yeah (Yes, yes I’m ready.)
