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 the diesels humming;
Don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

People get ready for the train to Jordan;
It’s picking up passengers from 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
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner;
For there’s no hiding place from the Kingdom’s throne

So, 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 the diesels humming;
Don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
