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 ever more.”

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 … and 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 ever more.”

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 ever more … ever more
