Text: | King Jesus Is a-Listenin' |
Tune: | [That Gospel train is comin'] |
Arranger: | Carl Haywood (b. 1949) |
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]
