ARE YOU READY?
Their biggest hit song by Pacific, Gas and Electric was “Are You Ready?”, the title track on their third album, Are You Ready?, which came out in 1970 and reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. This might be the first mention of the prophesied Second Coming of Jesus in popular music: “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 / (chorus) 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.”
