People Get Ready lyrics

This song was first released on the All Aboard! album. It is the only album it has been released on.
People get ready, there¡¯s a train a¡¯ coming
You don¡¯t need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You don¡¯t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

People get ready, for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast-to-coast
Faith is key, open up the doors and board them
There¡¯s hope for all among the loved the most
But there ain¡¯t no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind to save his own
Mave pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There¡¯s no hiding place from the kingdom¡¯s throne
People get ready, there¡¯s a train a¡¯ coming
You don¡¯t need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You don¡¯t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
Thank the Lord
