Ready to Ride

Sixth street, sun is going down
 Pavement's cool underneath
 A vagrant, so they say in town
 Seems that mercy can't compete
 Sleeping in a doorway
 Near the docks of Oyster Bay
 Thirteen years and carrying shame
 Never hearing the voice
 Of the One who took his blame
 A whisper, he raised his head
 Surrendered out, do you believe?
 Are you ready to ride the train?
 Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
 If you're ready to ride
 A one piece paper suitcase
 A past whose future was foretold
 A life not made for dying
 Instead the mystery began to unfold
 Unfolding, he raised his head
 Surrendered out, do you believe?
 Are you ready to ride the train?
 Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
 If you're ready to ride
 Born into despair, an orphan child
 Will You care for me?
 And like the train that saved me
 Adopted by love eternally
 Opening His arms He wants you rich
 You poor, you black, you white
 Receive His love that runs so deep
 And high, and long, and wide
 Surrendered out, do you believe?
 Are you ready to ride the train?
 Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
 If you're ready to ride
