THE JESUS TRAIN
Come one and all down to the station
Let's ride the Jesus train
All aboard to travel the nation
Where ever God shall reign
The Jesus train rolls on down the track
stopping along the way
Once aboard there is no turning back
so brother start to pray
A one way ticket to Paradise
Gabriel blows the horn
God teaches you about sacrifice
Come ride and be reborn
Praises to God, heard in the distance
Over the mountains high
Travels the path of least resistance
Journey into the sky
Way beyond the stars in heaven's glow
The train rises above
Dearly departed, here the whistle blow
For the Jesus train of love
To get a ticket you must be good,
Love God with all your heart.
Know right from wrong, do what you should,
The righteous shall depart.

ONLY ONE FAUX PAUX I SEE
THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE LEADS TO HELL NOT PARADICE
I KNOW IT SOUNDS BETTER THE OTHER WAY BUT TO BE SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT IT SHOULD BE THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE I KNOW IM AN EX PASTORS WIFE, OTHER WISE THIS IS A VERY GOOD POEM THE RHYTHM IN IT FLOWS VERY SMOOTHLY TOGETHER

Wonderful poem! Reminds me of the old song. I like the "no turning back" idea of boarding a train, which is a very good metephor since we can not return salvation. Back to the old God doesn't make mistakes argument. Anyhow, I disagree with the last stanza (you knew I would)! No, we don't need to be good to get a ticket...nor love God with all your heart. No, to get a ticket takes faith. Even Christ said that no one is good... shoot, I'd never qulaifiy if it wern't for His justification. Again, thanks for sharing and making me think.

Great Comment
Thank you Michael for stopping by and leaving a comment. I do appreciate it.Yes it does take faith and believing in God Almighty but I still think we need to live by his commandments and if we don't we need to ask forgiveness before we enter Heaven. You "may" be right. I'll let you know when I get to the gate. Take care my friend. Sandy

What a wonderful way to spread the gospel and so very colourful. I really enjoyed reading this and thank you very much for sharing. I love the part 'once aboard there is not turning back' it is so true because once you have experienced Jesus's wonderful love you want nothing more. God bless.

high climbing goals
i like the heart, painted by you
bold on the sky, ideals true blue
conveying so much, colors you show
brush out a future, paths we must go
true to your self, beliefs never vary
depth of feeling, load that you carry
hold your head high, road you choose
rarely goes downhill, or sings the blues

Sandy, this is really good! I love the idea of us being on a train, they are so strong and powerful... just like the kingdom of God is...
This is written really well... they flow is smooth and steady and makes this read easily. They rhymes are excellent and I like the scheme you used too.
It's always nice to read a poem with a good message. Indeed, He's about ready to collect us, I can't wait to leave this world! I'm so thankful that there's no works we have to do to have His love and salvation... because then we'd all fall short!
This is a wonderful piece... thank you for sharing it with us!!!
God bless you...

I really enjoyed this.
It was very uplifting, i'm glad i stopped to read it!
Very well written, nice rhyme scheme, wasn't forced...
altogether a great write!
my favorite lines:
To get a ticket you must be good,
love God with all your heart.
Know right from wrong, do what you should,
the righteous shall depart.
keep up the good work!! -
awwwww I love it
This reminds me of an old southern gospel song. The theme and wording is very nice. I like the rhyming scheme. This piece flows so well.
I love this stanza the best:
Praises to God, heard in the distance,
over the mountains high.
Travels the path of least resistance,
journey into the sky.
You also rhymed in my favorite way to rhyme

Well done! I am glad I read this one. ALL ABOARD!
God bless you, Mark
