From the recording Why Follow Jesus
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was walkin’ through the valley, burdened by my sin,
Didn’t know the Savior, didn’t know where to begin,
Then I heard a mighty sound, a call from up above,
Jesus paid my ticket with His endless love!
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m ready for the journey, I’m leavin’ all my cares,
I hear the Savior callin’, He’s answerin’ my prayers!
[Chorus]
Glory train’s a-comin’, hear that whistle blow,
All aboard for heaven, where the saved ones go!
Singin’ hallelujah, with the saints we’ll stand,
Glory train’s a-comin’ to the promised land!
[Verse 2]
I see the station shinin’, with a light so pure and bright,
Angels all around me, in their robes of white,
The conductor’s callin’, “Child, it’s time to board,”
I’m headin’ to the Father, to my great reward!
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m ready for the journey, I’m leavin’ all my cares,
I hear the Savior callin’, He’s answerin’ my prayers!
[Chorus]
Glory train’s a-comin’, hear that whistle blow,
All aboard for heaven, where the saved ones go!
Singin’ hallelujah, with the saints we’ll stand,
Glory train’s a-comin’ to the promised land!
[Bridge]
(Lead) Oh, the wheels are turnin’, can you feel the power?
(Tenor) We’re climbin’ higher, it’s our finest hour!
(Baritone) No more tears or sorrow, we’re on our way,
(Bass) To that land of glory, on that final day!
(All) All aboard, all aboard, don’t you be late,
The glory train’s a-comin’ to the pearly gates!
Chorus
Glory train’s a-comin’, hear that whistle blow,
All aboard for heaven, where the saved ones go!
Singin’ hallelujah, with the saints we’ll stand,
Glory train’s a-comin’ to the promised land!
(Oh, we’re goin’, yes, we’re goin’, hallelujah!)
Glory train’s a-comin’ to the promised land!
[Outro]
Glory train, glory train, hear that whistle blow,
We’re bound for heaven, where the saved ones go!
