GLORY LAND TRAIN
GLORY LAND TRAIN

Stop, look and listen
Hear the steam a hissin'
The whistle it does blow
Sounding mournful and low
People in a big corral
Pushed toward train bound for hell
Some getting trampled underneath
Such wailing and gnashing of teeth
Not a pleasant sight or sound
Crammed in train that is hell-bound
Weighed by anchor and by chain
Afraid of the long black train
But look at the neighbouring track
People slap each others' back
Anxious to climb on board
The train driven by the Lord
Listen to the bell a ringin'
Hear the passengers a singin'
But why do passengers seem so few
Come aboard there is room for you
Climb aboard the ride is free
Jesus paid the ticket for you and me
Leave behind worry and pain
Take your ride on the Glory Land Train
