Thoughts from Country Radio: 

Long Black Train

Every man is tempted when he is drawn away

by his own lust...

James 1:14

 There's a long black train comin' down the line,

Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'.

Rails of sin, only evil remains.

Watch out, brother, for that long black train.

Look to the heaven's, you can look to the sky.

You can find redemption

Staring back into your eyes.

There is protection and there's peace the same:

Burnin' your ticket for that long black train.

There's an engineer on that long black train,

Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain.

He's just a-waitin' on your heart to say:

"Let me ride on that long black train."

Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away.

It sounds so good, but I must stay away.

That train is a beauty makin' everybody stare,

But its only destination is the middle of nowhere.

But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say -

 Victory in the Lord.

Cling to the Father and His holy name,

And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

-Josh Turner

I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory,

How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me.

I heard about his groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning,

Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.

O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!

He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood.

He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him.

He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
