People Get Ready

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

So people get ready for the train to Jordan

Picking up passengers coast to coast

Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em

There's hope for all among those loved the most

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own, believe me now

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner

For there's no hiding place against the kingdom's throne

So 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
