I believe
I believe
I believe
And you believe
People get ready
There's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the lord
People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most
I believe
I believe
I believe
And you believe
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place
Against the kingdoms throne
There is no hiding place
Against the kingdoms throne
So people get ready
There's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage
Just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket
Just thank the lord
Just thank the lord
Thank the lord
Thank the lord
(Just get on board)
You don't need no ticket
Just thank the lord
Just thank the lord
Oh! Thank the lord
Thank the lord
(Just get on board)
(Just get on board)
(Just get on board)
