“Lord Train”
for Jimmie
People all over the world (all you sinners)
Join hands (in prayer)
Start a LORD train, LORD train
People all over the world (all the fallen, now)
Join hands (ride HIM)
Start a LORD train (LORD ride), LORD train
The next stop that we make will be soon
Tell all the sinners in Russia, and China, too
Don’t you know that it’s time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
To Salvation Land, well
People all over the world (you don’t need no money, just faith)
Join hands (come on)
Start a LORD train, LORD train (don’t need no ticket, just love)
People all over the world (Join in, ride HIS love)
Join in (Ride this train, y’all)
Start a LORD train (Messiah station), LORD train
All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the swarthies in Egypt, and Israel, too
Please don’t miss this train at the station
‘Don’t you miss it, ‘cause HE did it, did it for you
On HIS cross, well
People all over the world (Sisters and brothers)
Join hands (HE died for you)
Start a LORD train (for our sins, y’all), LORD train (crucified)
People all over the world (Don’t need no tickets in Heaven)
Join hands (come on, ride)
Start a LORD train, LORD train
Ride, let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
People, ain’t no war (Up there)
People all over the world (on this train)
Join in (ride the LORD)
Start a LORD train, LORD train (pearly gates, y’all)
People all over the world (come on)
Join hands (you can ride or stand, yeah)
Start a LORD train, LORD train (lovin’ Jesus)
People all over the world (’round the world, y’all)
Join hands (in HIS love)
Start a LORD train, LORD train

Cristy Lane lost recordings 1, 2, and 3.
Maybe you would have preferred her version of “Christ Christ, Baby”…?
It’s got a good beat that you can dance…errr, sit around quietly to.
SW: believe
I thought “Christ Christ, Baby” was the anthem for cross-dressers. . .
Looks like the ol’ Sitemeter at the Triple S ranch was in need of some inflatin’.
Nope. Were I to linkwhore, I’d do it a hell of a lot more.
And I hate Christy Lane’s music. I mean, if you’re gong to sing God Music, at least make it musical! The 101 Strings covered the ground she’s on pretty completely.
(Turing word: club. As in “Christy Lane music makes me want to club myself in the head until I can’t remember that I heard it”.
Everybody hates Cristy Lane music, Jimmie. The commercials are simply a front for ferreting out potential Amway salespeople.
But I’m curious: was it my strong condemnation of the McCain judicial compromise that earned me this anti-evangelical reputation? Was it my defense of the Catholic Church’s choice of Pope? Was it my suggestion that having Randall Terry as your front man during the Schiavo affair could, in the end (and with the help of the mainstream press), embolden Democrats to filibuster Bush’s judicial nominees as “too extremist,” using poll numbers of the public’s dislike of federal involvment in Schiavo to bolster their decision? Is it that I link to John Cole on occasion?
Please do let me know.
Can I get an Amen?
Except for that unkind remark about “swarthies,” it’s not bad as a pop-hymn lyric. I think we ought to commission JG to write us some hymns.
