People Get Ready

People Get Ready:



sung by Lester Chambers, 73 year old Mississippi-born soul singer. He was attacked on the stage, on the day Zimmerman's "not guilty" verdict was handed down, by a woman shouting: "It's all your fault." She was angry because of sympathy expressed about Trayvon Martin's killing.

Lyrics:

People get ready, there's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

People get ready for the train to Jordan
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all among those loved the most.

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's throne

So people get ready, there's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
