The Jesus Train

 Susan Cantey (c) 2010

Well it was raining like crazy when I ducked into the station,

Looked at the schedule couldn’t find no destination,

The A train, the B train, I let them all go by,

Then I saw a blue train, big “J’ on the side,

The conductor cleared his throat; yelled “All aboard!”

Hang on, hang on, hang on,

       

        This is the Jesus train you’re riding on,

        Get on board …hang on, hang on, hang on,

        Say, how far is this train a-goin’?

        Hey, hey, it’s going all the way,

        Hang on, hang on, hang on,

 

The conductor approached me, some how he knew my name,

Threw my bag in the trash, said “No baggage on this train,”

Climbed up the steps, started looking for a seat,

Way in the back they were serving a feast,

The brake man was dancing and everyone was chanting,

Hang on, hang on, hang on,

 

        This is the Jesus train you’re riding on,

        Get on board …hang on, hang on, hang on,

        Say, how far is this train a-goin’?

        Hey, hey, it’s going all the way,

        Hang on, hang on, hang on,

       

All aboard!   All aboard!

        Hang on, hang on, hang on,

       

        This is the Jesus train you’re riding on,

        Get on board …hang on, hang on, hang on,

        Say, how far is this train a-goin’?

        Hey, hey, it’s going all the way,

        Hang on, hang on, hang on,
