Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe
[Verse 2]
People get ready
There's a train comin'
Don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All we need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket
We'll just thank the Lord
[Verse 3]
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
It's pickin' up passengers
Close to home
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all
Among his loved the most
[Verse 4]
I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe
[Verse 5]
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Please have pity on those
Who's chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne
There's no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne
[Verse 6]
Oh, people get ready
There's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket
We'll just get on board
All you need is faith, yeah
To hear those diesels hummin'
You don't need no baggage, you just
We'll just thank the Lord
Oh, we'll just thank the Lord
Thank the lord
Thank the lord
[Verse 7]
Come on get on board
I tell, you, we don't need no ticket
We'll just thank the Lord
I say, we' thank the Lord
Oh, thank you, Lord
Thank the lord
[Verse 8]
Come on get on board
Oh, I thank you because I'm ready
Come on get on board
I thank you today because I'm near you
Come on get on board
Come on
