Jesus Train
Riding the Divine Rails: Exploring the Spiritual Journey in Bruce Cockburn's 'Jesus Train'
Lyrics
I'm on a Jesus train
I am currently following the teachings and path of Jesus.
I'm on a Jesus train
Reiteration of the commitment to the path of Jesus.
I'm on a Jesus train
Continuing to emphasize being on the path guided by Jesus.
Headed for
Heading towards a destination or goal.
Headed for
Repeating the idea of moving toward a destination.
Headed for the city of God
The ultimate destination is described as the "city of God," a spiritual place of significance.
Standing on the platform
Being in a position to make a choice or commitment.
Awed by the power
Feeling a sense of reverence or respect for a divine force.
I feel the fire of love
Experiencing a strong and passionate emotion associated with love.
Feel the hand upon my shoulder
Feeling a divine presence or guidance.
Saying "Brother climb aboard"
Being invited or encouraged to join a spiritual journey.
I'm on a Jesus train
Reiteration of being on the path guided by Jesus.
I'm on a Jesus train
Expressing commitment to the spiritual journey once again.
I'm on a Jesus train
Emphasizing the continuation of following Jesus.
Headed for
Repeating the idea of moving toward a destination.
Headed for
Reiteration of the concept of heading towards a goal.
Headed for the city of God
Describing the destination as the "city of God" once again.
Standing on the platform
Being in a position to make a choice or commitment (repeated).
Locomotive throbbing
Feeling the powerful and rhythmic energy associated with a locomotive.
I'm drawn to that open door
Attracted to an opportunity represented by an open door.
In the wonder of a child's heart
Approaching the situation with the innocence and wonder of a child.
I'm stepping up the stair
Taking a step forward, perhaps towards a higher spiritual understanding.
I'm on a Jesus train
Reiteration of being on the path guided by Jesus.
I'm on a Jesus train
Expressing commitment to the spiritual journey once again.
I'm on a Jesus train
Emphasizing the continuation of following Jesus.
Headed for
Repeating the idea of moving toward a destination.
Headed for
Reiteration of the concept of heading towards a goal.
Headed for the city of God
Describing the destination as the "city of God" once again.
I'm on a Jesus train
Reiteration of being on the path guided by Jesus.
I'm on a Jesus train
Expressing commitment to the spiritual journey once again.
I'm on a Jesus train
Emphasizing the continuation of following Jesus.
