People Get Ready
Journey of Faith: Aretha Franklin's Soulful Call to Board the Train of Hope
Lyrics
I believe
I have faith
I believe
-I believe
-I do believe
I truly believe
People get ready, there's a train comin' (ooh)
People, prepare, there's a significant event approaching (metaphorically expressed as a train)
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
No need for burdens, just be ready to join
All we need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Have faith to perceive the impending change
You don't need no ticket, well just thank the Lord
No need for external validation, express gratitude
(Thank the Lord, ooh, ohh)
(Expressing gratitude to the divine)
People get ready, for the train to Jordan
Get prepared for a spiritual journey towards salvation
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast
The journey includes people from all around
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
Faith is crucial; open your heart and welcome them
There's hope for all among his loved the most
There is hope for everyone, especially the beloved
I believe
I have faith
I believe
-I believe
-I do believe
I truly believe
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner (sinner)
No space for those who harm others for personal gain
Whom would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Show compassion for those whose chances are diminishing
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
Pity those whose opportunities are decreasing
For there is no hiding place against the kingdom's throne
No escape from judgment against divine authority
There is no hiding place against the kingdom's throne
-So people get ready, there's a train comin'
People, be prepared, a significant event is approaching
You don't need no ticket, we'll just get on board
No need for external validation, just join
All you need is faith, yeah, to hear those diesels hummin'
Faith is all you need to perceive the impending change
You don't need no baggage, you just
No need for burdens, just
We'll just thank the Lord
We express gratitude to the divine
Oh, we'll just thank the Lord
-Thank the Lord
Expressing gratitude to the divine
Thank the Lord
-I tell you, you don't need no ticket, we'll just
No need for external validation, just
We'll just thank the Lord
We express gratitude to the divine
I said, we'll thank the Lord
-Oh, thank the Lord
Expressing gratitude to the divine
Thank the Lord
-(Get on, get all on board)
(Encouragement to get on board the spiritual journey)
Oh, I'll thank you because I'm living
Expressing gratitude for life
(Get on, get all on board)
(Encouragement to get on board the spiritual journey)
I thank you everyday because I'm here
Expressing gratitude for being alive
