Story behind the song
During my yearling year at West Point I heard a person singing "People Get Ready" in a New York City subway station while I was on leave. I had never heard that song before until then. The echo inside the station enhanced the tone quality of the person's voice. It inspired me to write a song of my own about that Train soon to come.
Lyrics
There is a train a mighty whistle it blows
When it will come only the Father knows
And when it arrives all the saints, they will ride home to glory
There is a place, and angels guarding the road
A beautiful city where streets are made of gold
And living water goes flowing from the mighty throne of God
Share the Word, tell the story
'Bout a train bound for glory
You can ride, step inside
All aboard, ride the train
Ride the train, ride the train
Jesus died to pay your fare to ride again
It's not far to the station
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train
There is a place God had prepared for His fold
A promised land where milk and honey flowed
A place of rest and deliverance from ole Pharaoh
Long ago the truth was told about our Christ
He bled and died to pay the captive's price
And now we can live a more abundant life
Thank you Jesus
Share the Word, tell the story
'Bout a train bound for glory
You can ride, step inside
All aboard, ride the train
Ride the train, ride the train
Jesus died to pay your fare to ride again
It's not far to the station
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train (repeat chorus)
There is a train a mighty whistle it blows
When it will come only the Father knows
And when it arrives all the saints, they will ride home to glory
Long ago the truth was told about our Christ
He bled and died to pay the captive's price
And now we can live a more abundant life
Thank you Jesus
Share the Word, tell the story
'Bout a train bound for glory
You can ride, step inside
All aboard, ride the train
Ride the train, ride the train
Jesus died to pay your fare to ride again
It's not far to the station
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train (repeat chorus)
Ride the train, ride the train
Jesus died to pay your fare to ride again
It's not far to the station
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train
Step right up, climb aboard
Ride the train
