Song Description
Young but Ready by Richard Shekari is a heartfelt worship and surrender anthem that captures the passion of a willing heart answering God's call. The song tells the story of transformation--from a life once lost and wasted, to one renewed by the light of Christ. With an uplifting chorus that declares bold readiness to serve, it emphasizes faith, courage, and total dependence on God's guidance.
The verses reflect a personal testimony of redemption, while the bridge highlights the urgency of the Great Commission: "The fields are ready, the labourers few." Blending devotion with a spirit of mission, Young but Ready is both an intimate prayer and a public declaration--calling believers to rise, go, and bring glory to Christ the King.

Lyrics
Young but Ready
Chorus:
I am young but ready--oh yes, send me, Lord.
My wasted days are gone; they are no more. Lead me, Lord.
With You by my side, I have nothing to fear;
You're my rock and shield. Dear Lord, send me!
Verse 1:
I was a wanderer, lost in the night,
Till You came and filled my heart with Your beautiful light.
Your grace has washed my sins away,
Now I will serve You, Jesus, all my days. *Chorus*
Verse 2:
Your voice is calling; I'll answer the sound,
To share Your mercy where hope is found.
Through every valley, I'll hold Your hand,
Your word my compass, my strength to stand. *Chorus*
Bridge:
The fields are ready, the labourers few,
So here I am, Lord, I'll go for You.
Through every season, my heart will sing,
Glory and honour to Christ my King. *Chorus*
-(Repeat Verse 2 and Chorus)-
