Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh yeah
People get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
[Verse 2]
So, people get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Pickin' up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open up the doors and board 'em
There's room for all among those loved the most
[Verse 3]
Oh, there ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place from the kingdom's throne
[Verse 4]
Oh, people get ready, there's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
And you don't need a ticket, you just thank the Lord
[Verse 5]
One more time
People get ready, there's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Verse 6]
People get ready, come on
People get ready
All you need is faith
All you need is faith
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
