Refrain: King Jesus is a-listenin’ all day long, To hear some sinner pray.

1 That Gospel train is comin’, A-rumblin through the lan’ But I hear them wheels a-hummin’ Get ready to board that train! [Refrain]

2 I know I been converted, I ain’t gon’ make no alarm, For my soul is bound for glory, And the devil can’t do me no harm. [Refrain]

3 Some say that John the Baptist Was nothin’ but a Jew, But the Holy Bible tells us That John was a preacher too. [Refrain]
