"People Get Ready" lyrics

"People Get Ready"
(originally by The Impressions)

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
You can hear the diesels humming
You 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
And faith is the key
And the train is now boarded
Heaven is free
Anything most

There's an awesome grace
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind
Even is to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the King on his throne

So people get ready
There is a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
You can hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
