Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with the old gospel song “This Train.” Here’s a nice rendition of it:
This Train (Is Bound For Glory) Classic Gospel Spiritual with Chords and Lyrics
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train;
No high fliers, no midnight ramblers. . .
Don’t carry nobody but the righteous and the holy
This train is bound for glory, this train.
The Boss has a different take:
This train carries carries saints and sinners, this train
Carries losers and winners. . .
Carries whores and gamblers. . .
Carries lost souls. . .
Carries broken-hearted. . .
Thieves and sweet souls departed. . .
Carries fools and kings
He tops it off with a riff from “People Get Ready”
You don’t need no ticket
You just get on board
You just thank the Lord
Which of these resonates more with your understanding of the Gospel?
