My first Christian re-write will be for Andrew WK's "Get Ready to Die". I know I couldn't have picked an odder choice. The weird thing about this is song is how much I didn't change, including the title: I only changed one word for it to become "Be Ready to Die."
On a serious note, these lyrics were inspired by the question that first got me seriously thinking about dedicating my life to Christ: "Do you know where you are going when you die?"

This is your time to pray,
Prepare for judgment day,
He made a sacrifice,
So we may get eternal life.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son,
Praise the Spirit, Three in One,
Jesus makes all things new,
So here's the thing you have to do.
You better be ready to die,
You better be ready to give,
Your heart and mind to the Son,
Cause here he comes,
You better be ready to die!
When this world is over now,
That's when every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess his name,
"Jesus Christ is King again!",
We know which side is right,
We know who wins this fight,
So dance into the light,
Or else you'll face the hellish blight!
You better be ready to die,
You better be ready to give,
Your soul and life to the Son,
Cause here he comes,
You better be ready to die!
Be ready to die!
Be ready to die!
Be ready to pray!
Be ready to give!
Be ready to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!
His kingdom's coming, so you better be ready,
And you better be ready to die!

My next submission will be more uplifting.
