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
All the prophecies fulfilled
In a moment, so we sing
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 (Woo)
We're getting ready
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 crown You with many crowns
Every creed and tribe and tongue
Declaring in unity
Like the roar of many waters
Like the sound of rolling thunder
Hallelujah, give Him glory
For the marriage of the Lamb is coming

"Getting Ready" by Maverick City Music is a powerful worship song that invites listeners to participate in the anticipation and celebration of the marriage of the Lamb. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the momentous occasion when the Bride (the Church) joins with the Son (Jesus Christ) to become one.
The inspiration for this song is rooted in the biblical concept of the marriage of the Lamb, which is described in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 19:7-8, it says, "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." This passage speaks of the joy and glory that will accompany the union of Christ and His Church.
From the opening lines of the song, we are reminded of the honor it is to be invited to this sacred event. As believers, we are called to come and worship Him, recognizing the significance of this joining of the Bride and the Son. The song emphasizes the fulfillment of prophecies and the unity of all nations and tribes in declaring the glory of God.
The lyrics also capture the awe-inspiring image of Jesus as the bridegroom. With fire in His eyes and the very word of God, He is worthy of every kingdom and nation bowing down before Him. The imagery of crowning Him with many crowns signifies His sovereignty and authority over all.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of anticipation and readiness. The repetition of "We're getting ready" emphasizes the urgency and excitement in preparing for this grand event. It is a call to align our hearts and lives with the purposes of God, to be in a state of readiness to meet our Bridegroom.
The song also conveys the message of spreading the good news of the marriage of the Lamb. The lyrics proclaim, "We'll shout 'til the whole world hears it, we'll sing 'til the whole world knows." This echoes the Great Commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20, where He instructs His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The music itself reflects the exuberance and joy of the lyrics. The energetic melodies, powerful harmonies, and dynamic instrumentation create an atmosphere of celebration and worship. The song builds in intensity and passion, inviting listeners to join in the declaration of praise and adoration.
Overall, "Getting Ready" is a song that stirs the heart and ignites a sense of anticipation for the coming marriage of the Lamb. It reminds us of our role as the Bride of Christ and the importance of preparing ourselves for that glorious day. Through its biblical imagery and powerful lyrics, the song invites us to join in the celebration and proclaim the faithfulness and greatness of our King, Jesus Christ.
