THE  GLORY  TRAIN
 
 
In Care-Free Drifting Solitude
I Floated Through My Dreams
That Deep Unconscious Peaceful Mood
Abruptly Ruined By Screams !

"That Awful Irritating Train"
With Whistles At Full Blast
Did "Burlington" Have Any Shame
My Sweet-Dreams Couldn't Last ?

Yes I Know; That It's A "WARNING"
That There's DANGER Just Ahead
But, It's Still Three Hours Till' Morning
As I'm Laying Here In Bed !

 
Though In Retrospect, I Ponder
Since I'm Already Awake
Sometimes Christians Even Wander
Into DANGERS We Forsake .
 

 
We Can Sense It When Our Hearts Tug
And We Know It's Right Or Wrong
But Can Turn Our Heads & Act Smug
With The Hopes To Just Belong

As I Struggle Back Towards Dream-Land
And I Rub My Tired Eyes
My Thoughts Drift Off To "Glory Land"
And I Start To Visualize . . .

Heavens' Depot Up & Running
"WARNING WHISTLES" To Our Souls
Because That "Glory Train" Is Coming
With Christ JESUS At Controls .
 

 
JESUS Is The Trains' Conductor
And ~ Our Trip Is Underway
It's All Of Us HE'S Coming For
And HIS BLOOD Has Paid Our Way !

But We'll Need A Reservation
So HIS Death Was Not In Vain
HE'S There Waiting At The Station
As HE Mans The "THE GLORY TRAIN"
 

 
... As I Woke Up The Next Morning
Feeling Very Much Refreshed
I Thanked GOD HE Sends Us "WARNING"
And For Such A BLESSED REST.
