[Intro]
Ooh yeah
My my my my my my
[Chorus]
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 humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Verse 1]
So people get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open up the doors and board 'em
There's room for all
For those who love the most
[Verse 2]
Oh, there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who'd hurt all mankind
Just to save his own (Save his own)
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place
Against the Kingdom's throne
[Chorus]
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 your faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
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
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Outro]
Oh, yeah yeah
(People get ready)
Come on, people get ready
(People get ready)
All you need is faith
(People get ready)
All you need is faith
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
Thank you
Ooh yeah
My my my my my my
[Chorus]
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 humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Verse 1]
So people get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open up the doors and board 'em
There's room for all
For those who love the most
[Verse 2]
Oh, there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who'd hurt all mankind
Just to save his own (Save his own)
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place
Against the Kingdom's throne
[Chorus]
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 your faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
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
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
[Outro]
Oh, yeah yeah
(People get ready)
Come on, people get ready
(People get ready)
All you need is faith
(People get ready)
All you need is faith
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord
