ive known that Hell Bound Train,
The one they call the ride of pain!
For i once was the brakeman headed for the lake of fire,
Doing satan's bidding my boss of hire;
With blinders on and my life on track,
Racing toward judgement day after day with no slack;
Then for no apparent reason This Train stopped and made all to sneer,
Yahweh called all those who will can get off here;
i pondered what was this call of glee,
Could it be meant for me?
My eyes were opened to all that i had done,
This King of Kings i could not shun;
For he exposed the works of satan Oh MY,
All this time the one i was working for is a lie;
i wept and wept as my heart did break,
Praying all the while Yahshua my soul to take;
As my Master Yahshua had wiped the tears,
i heard all my former friends with scowering jeers;
Thats not the way, not the truth and not the life, they all shouted from the Train bound for HELL,
They were still blinded, not getting of the Trian near as i could tell;
Bound to that Hell Bound Train and picking up speed,
To the call of the Master Yahweh not willing to heed;
Out of all on that Train only a few got off,
Those following the broad way only to scoff;
Narrow is the way from the Hell Bound Train to DEPART,
Yahshua is the only way at the CROSS road to start;
He paid the price of Salvations Plan,
TO leave that train and follow Him is the only way for man!

The Hell-Bound Train
A bum fell down on a bar room floor,
Having drunk so much he could drink no more.
Asleep he lay with a screaming brain,
Dreaming he rode on a hell-bound train.
An eerie glow from a brimstone lamp,
Shot fear through the heart of the drunken tramp.
Within the engine came thousands of groans,
As a demon fed it dying mens bones.
Satan was the trains engineer,
Whose imps filled the boiler with rot-gut beer.
The passengers were a motley crew,
Church member, Atheist, Gentile and Jew.
There were rich men in silks, beggars in rags,
Beautiful young girls, and withered old hags.
Black men and brown, mixed and white,
All chained together what a terrible sight.
The drunkards train flew at an awful pace,
Into heat that scorched skin from his hands and face.
As the scenery grew wilder he heard a hideous yell,
Welcome suckers, you are now entering hell.
Together the damned shrieked in pain,
Begging old Nick to stop the train.
But he just danced about and sang with glee,
While laughing and joking at their agony.
The oldest to the youngest knew, for sin they must pay,
And that all would be damned this horrible day.
You, bullied the weak, robbed the poor,
And drove the starving from your door.
You put your wealth to rot and rust,
In gold and silver and beastly lust.
You laughed at justice and corruption was sown,
Then deafened your ear to the poor mans moan.
You rioted, murdered, divorced and lied,
Then mocked Sweet Christ Jesus in your hell-bound pride.
Now it's time to get your hire,
Eternity fool, in the Lake of Fire.
Your flesh will roast in flames that roar,
And a worm will eat your body for ever more.
Shaking with fear and wet with sweat,
The drunk awoke from the dream he would never forget.
He cried "Christ Jesus, save me from the doom of the damned,
Heal me with a touch from your nail pierced hand."
Listen sinner, live no more in vain,
Repent or you too will ride, the hell-bound train.

MAT 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
MAT 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
MAT 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
LUK 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, "there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
JOH 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
JOH 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, "That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice."
"ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."
JOH 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
