Folks call him the 'Pavement Parson' ... 'cause he preaches to the sidewalk crowd
Stands on a corner - rain or shine ⦠reads the good book right out loud
Today I stopped to listen ⦠he touched my soul with the words he read
I was thinking 'bout my troubles ⦠when he said, "Son, we're heaven blessed ...
Chorus:
There's a Glory Train ⦠waiting for you and me
Gonna carry us to salvation ⦠set our burden free
There's a Glory Train ⦠we all can get on board
And we'll ride to the promise land to be together ⦠for ever more."
Well, I couldn't help but wonder ⦠'bout the story of his life
So I bought him a cup of coffee ⦠to warm his bones and we talked a while
He said he was married to an angel ⦠but in her last years, she took ill
She kept her smile right to the end ⦠her words console him still â¦
Chorus:
"There's a Glory Train ⦠waiting for you and me
Gonna carry us to salvation ⦠set our burden free
There's a Glory Train ⦠we all can get on board
And we'll ride to the promise land to be together ⦠for ever more."
I decided right then and there . . . to be more thankful for what I have
Live each day like there's no tomorrow; cherish what's given and then give back â¦
Until my time's at hand to board that ...
Chorus:
Glory Train ⦠waiting for you and me
Gonna carry us to salvation ⦠set our burden free
There's a Glory Train ⦠we all can get on board
And we'll ride to the promise land to be together ⦠for ever more ⦠ever more
