People Get Ready

(album: Home Grown - 1971)

People get ready
There's a train a coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
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 'em
There's hope for all
Where love is the most

There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Turn on his brother out of his own
Have pity on those whose
Chances grow thinner
There's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's throne

People get ready
Oh the Lord is coming
Meeting His brothers everywhere
Love is the key
To keep the flame burning
You know in your heart
He soon will be here

People get ready
There's a change coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no money
You just love the Lord

(People get ready, there's a change a'comin)
(Loving each other is... loving the Lord)
(People get ready, there's a train a'comin)
(Faith is your ticket, just get on board)
(People get ready...)
