Faith Train

If you live lifted up your sins are forgiven

It's a short trip to heaven or a long, long road to hell

Brother, it's a lesson I had to learn the hard way

And sister it's a lesson you'd best be learnin' well

So tangled up in wickedness, devoted to sin

If Satan spills a tear on you then Satan's bound to win

You don't hear church bells or the sound of angel wings

You should be bound for glory but your mind's on death's gold ring

CHORUS

Ride that faith train-bound for glory

Open your heart-hear God's story

Feel his love-movin' all around you

Follow blind-and be born brand new

You say that you're a thinkin' man-the kind who needs real proof

You seek a scientific way to believin' in God's truth

Well, friend I'm here to tell you there's a lot we just don't know

Lord's love's shinin' down for free-how could you ask for more?

I had a heart full of envy and a whisky way of thinkin'

Couldn't get my mind right-I walked a dead end trail

Wouldn't read the Bible, cheated on my loved one

Thought I had forever and I drank from the poison well

CHORUS

Yes, I fooled myself to thinkin' today was all that mattered

Coulda been better but I wasn't all that bad

I watched my children cryin' and my mama bent and prayin'

& when it looked like I might lose it all I thought that I'd go mad

Lucifer's river is runnin' red and bloody

You don't need to look both ways-just reach the righteous side

And when temptation falls upon you, cast your soul to Heaven

Save yourself eternity as the burnin' devil's bride

CHORUS
