People get ready, there's a train comin'
People are being advised to prepare because a significant event (symbolized as a train) is approaching.
You don't need no ticket, no, you just get on board
No specific requirements are needed; everyone is welcome to join without any barriers.
And all you need is faith to hear his [Incomprehensible] hummin'
Faith is emphasized as the essential quality to perceive a divine presence (indicated by the humming).
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord, just thank the Lord
Reiterating that no formalities or prerequisites are necessary; gratitude to God is sufficient.
Yeah, yeah, you just get on
Encouragement to board the train without hesitation.
People get ready, 'cos there's a train comin'
A repetition of the anticipation of the impending significant event (the train).
It's pickin' up passengers from coast to coast
The train is inclusive, gathering people from all across the country.
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em

There's room for all if you'll just love the Lord
There is space for everyone if they express love for the divine.
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Exclusion of those who, at the expense of others, act selfishly and without regard for humanity.
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Highlighting the negative consequences for those who harm others for personal gain.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner?
Expressing compassion for those facing increasingly limited opportunities due to their actions.
Cos' there's no hiding place around the kingdom's throne
Indicating that there is no escape from facing judgment around the divine throne.
People get ready, 'cos there's a train comin'

You don't need no ticket, no, you just get on board
Restating that no formalities are required, and everyone is welcome.
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em

Reaffirming that gratitude to God is sufficient to be part of the event.
