[Verse 1]
People get ready
There's a train a-comin'
Don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

[Refrain]
People get ready
People get ready

[Verse 2]
People get ready (Woo)
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the door and board her
'Cause there's hope for all
Among His loved the most

[Bridge]
People get ready, people get ready
People get ready, people get ready
People, please get ready for the train of love
It doesn't cost you anything
All you do is get on board
The only giving is giving yourself
This the last go round
And if you miss this train, I want you to know
You've only got yourself to blame
Me and old Sonny are taking the same ride
That the door is open wide for you, for you

[Verse 3]
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose
Whose chances grow slimmer
For there's no hiding place

[Outro]
There's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
From His loving throne
(People get ready)
From His loving throne
(People get ready)
People get ready
(People get ready)
For the train to Jordan
(People get ready)
It's picking up passengers, yeah
(People get ready)
From coast to coast
(People get ready)
Faith is the key
(People get ready)
Open the door and board her, Lord, Lord
(People get ready)
'Cause it's here for all
(People get ready)
Among His loved the most
(People get ready)
