People Get Ready

Aretha Franklin

I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe

People get ready, there's a train comin'
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All we need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, we'll 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 them
There's room for all amoung his loved and lost

I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe

(key change)

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

So... people get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket, We'll just get on board
All you need is faith yeah to hear those diesels hummin'
You don't need no baggage, you just... 

We'll just thank the Lord
Oh we'll just thank the lord
Tha...nk the Lord
Thank the Lord...

I tell you we don't need no ticket 
We'll just... we'll just thank the lord
I say we'll thank the lord
Oh thank you lord
Thank the lord...

Oh thank you because I'm living
I thank you today because I'm here to be giving
