Song Lyrics

People get ready there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is some faith to hear the diesels humming
And you don't need a ticket you just thank the Lord

Let me tell you there ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who'd hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have some pity on those whose chances grow thinner
'Cause there's no hidin' place against the kingdom's throne
People get ready

I'll let you people get ready for there's a train coming
You don't need a ticket you just get on board
I'll let you people get ready for there's a train coming
And you don't need no baggage you just get on board
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
