People Get Ready
NewSong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket, no, you just get on board
And all you need is faith to hear his [Incomprehensible] hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord, just thank the Lord

Yeah, yeah, you just get on

People get ready, 'cos there's a train comin'
It's pickin' up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's room for all if you'll just love the Lord

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?
Cos' there's no hiding place around the kingdom's throne

People get ready, 'cos there's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket, no, you just get on board




Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
Don't need no ticket, no no, you just thank the Lord

We must get rid of the sin which doth so easyly beset us, Pray without ceasing, Reading the Bible, fasting and stay in fellowship with other believers, give tithes and offerings. Walk in LOVE I Corinthians 13. Confess our sins to the LORD Yahweh 1 John 1: 8-10. And turn from sin and live a holy life, for without holiness shall no man see the LORD Yahweh !

Daniel Perry

Amen

Jesus is coming soon!
You may have heard this your whole life. I've preached it for 36 years.
But I'm telling you people, this morning the Lord gave me this song as I woke up.
Out of the blue. When I saw the verse intro on this video I cried like a baby.
Because the Lord gave me the revelation. We are going home soon and I mean soon!
Your ticket? Ye must be born again. (John 3:3)
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
(Matthew 24:44)
