Lyrics for People Get Ready

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 diesels humming You don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord Yeah yeah yeah 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 Among the loved and lost Now there ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who抯 hard on mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those Whose chances are thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the King on his Throne Ohh 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 diesels a- humming You don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord Yeah yeah yeah I'm getting ready I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh I'm ready yeah
