People Get Ready
Curtis Mayfield
[Chorus:]
People get ready
There's a train, it's 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, no
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 for boarding
There's room for all
For them that love Him most
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt 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
[Chorus:]
