“PEOPLE GET READY”
Lyrics by Curtis Mayfield

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.

So people get ready, for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers 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
Whom would hurt all mankind, just to save his own, believe me now
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is 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
