Lyrics

Verse:
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 evermore.

Verse:
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

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 evermore.

Bridge:
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
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 evermore; evermore
