people get ready

Dionne Warwick

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

So 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 hope for all among His chosen ones

There ain t no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Believe me now, have pity
On those whose chances grow thinner
But there s no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

So people get ready, there s a train a coming
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
