People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel's humming
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 the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Amongst the 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
'Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Tthrone
So people get ready
For the train a-coming
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel's humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time I'm ready
This time I'm ready
I'm getting ready
Gettin' ready, oh yeah
I'm getting ready, yes I am
Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
