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   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 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 are thinner   Cause there's no hiding place   From the Kingdom's Throne      So people get ready   for the train a-comin'   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, you just thank the Lord      Yeah   Ooh      Yeah   Ooh      I'm getting ready   I'm getting ready   this time I'm ready   this time I'm ready
