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 against 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
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
