So i made up my mind to use tonight. My sobriety anniversary is less than a month away. I started texting around to see if anyone had anything. My friend called me and begged me not to. I was silent, and i listened, but the mental warfare was too loud. Hung up the phone and heard a train outside my window. Remembered the song and searched for it... Looks like I'll be clean another day.

This was the first song I ever sang in public for the church we were going to at the time. I got brave and asked the pastor if I could perform it before the service and he said yes. When we went to church that Sunday we had standing room only and a friend told me that they heard I was going to sing that train song as he put it. I was scared to death to sing it but got a standing applause for my performance. Quite a few people asked to be baptized because of that song. I feel that the Lord used me for that purpose that day and I'm glad I did.

I was born with autism, I've been struggling sometimes, But now that I've heard this song, I know there's always victory in God, because he loves everyone, no matter what, autism or not, he loves everyone, Thank you for giving us this important message Josh Turner!

Josh - I'm a Christian. I came across you and this song as I was cruising KZfaq for music to play my harmonica to. This song captivated me in such a way that tears welled up and I had to stop playing. This song is SO powerful and such a message. Thank you for using your talent for the Kingdom of God. Praise the Lord!

My husband loved this song , he passed away and went to be with the Lord in August. We both love you and your songs 3:35 unburn our bridges , was our song too.

I was listening to this song when I was on my knees, crying for my mom’s health. I was devastated because she has cancer and wasn’t doing well at all. God talked to me through this praise, and when I opened the Bible, it was Psalms 27. God confirmed that we should just wait on Him. We still need a miracle, but now we have faith and praise while we wait! My mom is a woman who follows our Lord’s words, and I ask you to pray for her health as well. Her name is Maria Juracy and she has a serious Lymphoma.

My dad had this song played at his funeral. Even after his death, he made sure others heard about the saving power of Jesus Christ!

I rode that train for almost 50 years but thanks to the Love of Jesus Christ I'm no longer going to nowhere . ✝️❤️🙏👍🙂

"Victory in the Lord...cling to the Father and His holy name."

Anyone here in 2024? If you are, angels are watching over you, prayers are being said for you and enjoy this mans voice.

When i was a teenager this song was playing on TV, my grandfather stopped me, and mentioned that he really likes this song. This ones for you grandpa❤

There's a long black train Coming down the line Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying Rails of sin only evil remains Watch out brother for that long black train Look to the heavens You can look to the skies 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 'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say Victory in the Lord Cling to the Father and his holy name And don't go riding on that long black train There's an engineer on that long black train Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain He's just a waitin' on your heart to say Let me ride on that long black train 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 riding 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 making 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 riding on that long black train I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train Yes watch out brother for that long black train That devil's a drivin' that long black train

Thank the Lord for giving us Josh Turners' beautiful voice & music!

"THERE'S VICTORY IN THE LORD," I say! 😉 🙏🏼💞🌎🙌🏼

My papaw passed he was a loyal police officer and died in the line of duty this spring on my birthday this was his favorite song thank you so much Josh Turner you mean alout to the healing of our family ❤

I struggle with cutting and self harm and self esteem issues. And I’m a Christian. Trying to get better. But there’s victory in the Lord ✝️

This is one of my favorite songs. My ex-boyfriend and father of my oldest child called me one night to teach him that prayer of salvation. About 15 months later his alcoholism killed him around the time this song came out. I used to pray for him all the time long before he died. I hope he's saved.

I have been a long time Christian and just haven’t felt the spirit lately, I have been praying that God restores my faith. This song helps realign my priorities. Thank you God! its so easy to jump back on this ol’train, help keep me off Lord 🙏🏻

Finally after months of wanting to ride the long black train, I realized it really wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to live, I thought about my family members who passed away from cancer. They fought hatd but lost the battle. So why should I take my life when they had the courage to fight to the end. So I've seen the light. ❤❤❤❤

My grandfather passed away 04/22/2021, four days ago. This was his favorite song. He sang this as a special at church for as long as I can remember. At his funeral, on Saturday, they played a recording of him singing this. Rest easy, Paw Paw. We won’t forget you or your love of this song.

If you ever rode the TRAIN you will understand. "That there is victory in the Lord!!!!!"

THERES VICTORY IN THE LORD I SAY

Was feeling really depressed tonight... then i found this song again after so long forgotten. Thank you for pulling me off that train.👏

This song made me rethink my drug addiction back in 2010 after relapsing several before then. It also put back on the path the my Heavenly Father!! Thank you Lord😍

Wow. Waiting in the car for my husband and heard this on the radio. Beautiful song, beautiful voice. I couldn't believe the lyrics so I had to look them up so I could read them over and over. And Josh WROTE the lyrics! Glad the radio is still playing this song. There IS victory in the Lord! Gave me goosebumps!

I love this song! It has true meanings! Yes, there is victory in the Lord. Bless His Holy Name!

One of the most honest and heartfelt songs created in a long time. From my untamed heart to yours, thank you Mr. Josh for scripting an inspirational song that holds meaning. And I quote, "Cling to the Father and His holy Hame don't going ridin' that long black train..."

"Long Black Train" 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. 'Cause 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. 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." 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. 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. I said cling to the Father and his Holy name, And don't go ridin' on that long black train. Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train. That devil's drivin' that long black train. From : azlyrics

Its true,There is victory in the Lord.

Rejoice in the Lord Always❤

Who still here in 2024??!!

His voice is phenomenal

There sure is victory in Jesus!! Hallelujah!!! AMEN!!!

This song is so great!! One night Josh couldn't sleep, He went to the kitchen and wrote this song as God gave Him the words!! This is His first Number One!! We are privileged to hear it!! God gave him a some talent!! God Bless us all!!!!

I love this song, I really love this to hear him Josh sing this and any song.I love the fact that his entire family sings with him at times. He really truly has faith and love for God . Our creatior I admire a person or artist for his or her belief!

I always thought I would always be the guy that would be very depressed everyday forever. And for a while i was. And when I was 11 I had scizaphrina. Now I have autism. And I always never like going to church. But one on my teachers gave me a bible. And I found a church that teaches me about stuff I always wanted to know more about god. I've been baptized twice. Now I live a happy life. I have friends. And its all thanks to my teachers and this song. God bless you Josh Turner. :-)

This is the only song my father asked me to play at his funeral. So I made that happen. I'm listening to this again with him on my mind. Damn still hurts many years later.

These days in United States, this song is telling everyone what they need to know!! ❤

Outstanding! Victory in the Lord! Amen! Cling to the Father and his holy name! Amen! Praise be to God, his son our Lord Jeses and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

One of Josh’s best…His grace and mercy is a gift to us all. ❤️🙏🏻

God is awesome ! He knows whats right and he will provide.

20 years later and still gives me chills. I’ve seen him in concert 10+ times and it never gets old

Praise the Lord for directing your path towards salvation. God bless you abundantly.❤

I believe in a higher power, and I'm 21. I don't go to church every Sunday, but I'm a believer

Absolutely one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. It reminds me so much of my mom who struggled with her own sins just as we all do, but she would drive around listening to gospel music struggling to climb up out of sin and find that victory in the lord. Momma, i losr you 3 years ago, and despite our fights, i miss you when i never thought i would during our arguments. NEVER, and i mean NEVER argue with your folks and tell em you hate em. I had the privlige to hold my moms hand as she left this world in a hospital room. Mildred, i love you.

3:22 That hit me...a friend of mine and I were both at the ends of our ropes. We were both severely depressed, and battling self hatred with feelings of hopelessness. My friend took his own life. He was a staunch, prideful atheist. Out of the two of us being in the same boat, I was the one that came back. I did cling to the Lord, and I've got such inner peace now! I've grown so much since then, and I'm so happy to be alive! I do miss that friend dearly, and I miss sharing music with him. Thank God, I didn't board the long, black train, let alone be hit by it.

Victory in the Lord, don’t go riding on that long black train

There is victory in the Lord!

This song has helped me more spiritually by giving imagery to resisting temptation and has a more needed message for the world than most of the music they play on Christian radio these days. God really knew what He was doing when he gave Josh Turner a voice!

This song helped me come to my victory in Christ around 2018 so thank you and most of all to Jesus Christ 🙏💗

This is my favorite of Josh's songs, proof that country songs can talk religion without name dropping Jesus. It tells a story and gets the message across without being preachy. Sin is a fun ride, but it won't be fun if you cant get off

Today has been 5 years since my sister passed away she was 13 and she had cancer and this was her favorite song and I wanna say thanks Josh Turner for bringing my sister joy when she was in pain it means a lot

I remember contemplating suicide fifteen years ago when this song came on the radio. The line in the song where it goes, "There's an engineer on that long black train. Making you wonder if the ride is worth the pain," I know that's what that line says, but to me when I hear it, I hear in my head "Making you wonder if YOUR WALK is worth the pain. Over 2000 years ago, Satan tried talking Jesus out of walking to Golgatha for us because He knew that by His sacrifice it would free us all. We all have our own "Walk" that we need to endure in life. Meaning that we all have a destiny that God has called us for. And some have longer walks than others. Whether that's a path to a career change, or whatever it is. And in life, we're going to hear literal voices in the form of concerned friends or family or figurative voices in our head coming from an origin of fear that's going to try to talk us out of our destiny. And some of the reasons that those voices give might make sense. But that's OK because Jesus already overcame the voices of fear. Don't stop loving your friends and family, but ignore the voices of fear and just keep walking...

This song makes me bawl every time...😭😢... MUSIC/GOD SAVES!💔❤‍🩹🖤🎼🎵🎶💖

Amazing voice. Need more Josh Turner's in this world especially today. Pray that the murder of youth, children adults are demolished from Satan's grip..and that fentanyl be permanently disbanded. And those poisoning are permanently changed in their hearts by God to do good instead. AMEN!

I got my self lost from the Lord and I found myself on that long black train for several years. With the Lords wonderful love, kindness, grace and power I've climb off of it. I've given myself over to Christ again. If your lost, or sad I beg you please turn your face to God and lay your worries and cares at his feet. Even if you've been gone for years or denied he even exist, I want you to know, he loves you and wants you with him. God bless you all!

Jesus speaks to me through this song about the devil will use the things of this world that you like or is your weakness you can't seem to shake but remember lord Jesus is the beginning and the end there is victory in the mighty name of Jesus christ if we just turn to him and not anything of this world bc it's just temporary!! Praise lord Jesus my king my savior my everything Hallelujah 🙏🙌❤ Jesus loves you all so very very much God bless you all!!

This is the first time I’ve hear this song in years. But every time I hear it it reminds me of my grandma who passed recently. When I was little I would make her play this song on repeat endlessly and we’d sing it together. She was the greatest woman I’d ever known. Such an amazing song.

Still love this song in March of 2020. Anyone with me?

this guy has an amazing voice...and the words are so true

I just found this guy and all I can say is WOW!!! Amazing!!!

His music is wonderful. I have seen that long black train but God told me no.

My wife & I love this song...I was on that BLK train for 24 years, now I’ve been born again for 24 years. Here’s some perspective; sin takes, sin kills. Jesus gives REAL love and REAL peace, and healed my pain. GLORY!

South Carolina is certainly proud of Josh Turner

There's Victory in the Lord I say cling to the father and his Holy name

This song never gets old. Love it.

My favorite Josh Turner song! I went on that long black train and I promise you it leads to even more sin and death. Though I wish I found the Lord earlier in my life, the fact that I have him now is all that matters.

I can sign this song. I've been listening to this for years and REALLY LOVE IT🥰🕊🙏

I AGREE 100TH % SURELY COULD HAVE MORE COUNTRY MUSIC LIKE JOSH TURNER SUCH A GIFTED MAN AND HIS BEAUTIAFUL LOVING VOICE .LOVE ALL HIS SONGS HOPE ONE DAY HE WILL BE ON TOP OF HIS SUPERHITS. CONGRATS JOSH TURNER .

this song is amazing, it just always gets me crying. (i don’t listen to it often) my great grandma went to heaven in early 2019 and this was one of the songs played at her funeral. just brings back memories of that day. it’s hard to heal after almost 4 years. i miss you big gramma have fun dancing with jesus! ❤️❤️

"Victory in the Lord!" You said it bro! I want him to help me get off this Long Black Train.

This song plays in my heart always. We played it at my brother's funeral 12-15-2003.

Sniff. I cry every time I hear this. I felt I was so close to getting on that train. It was only His love that kept me from ending my own life. Thank you, Lord. I want to come home, but not for awhile. 🪽💞

Wow his voice is amazing. Love this song just discovered it, praise the Lord😇

I came accross this song as I was coming back to Christ. Thanks for the help Josh.

Staying off. The black train bro joshy. Prayers for me to continue to stay far away from it. Need change. I want my victory. Thank you sweetie 🥰😘✨💯💕✌️🥳🙏🤟🫶🙌🫠🌞😇😇😇😇😇

This was our grandma's favorite song we lost her in April we played it at our funeral,she song this all the time to our great grandson my son and she had dementia but she remembered this song and kept singing it

I love this song and Josh has a voice like silk! Praise God for songs like this!

I wish everyone in this world would listen to this song. A song of pure redemption. Praise the Father and His Holy name...always. There is redemption for all.

Saw Josh live in London last night at the Union Chapel. What an amazing talent, voice and all-round beautiful human being. He has a great stage presence and fully engages with the audience. I am absolutely thrilled that I was able to attend.

I rode bulls, ended up with broken wrist , shoulders ,arms, then in 1987 broken back, gold I gave it up , hats off to those youngsters that still keep that sport alive!

This was one of my grandmother's favorite songs. She just past away and went home to be with the Lord rip nanny love you

This song gives me cold chills and fills me with the JOY of Jesus' love.

Many times I thot about riding that train. I thought there was no love for me, no hope and no future. Two days ago my whole outlook changed when my neighbours son committed suicide. He was lost, didn't think anyone loved him or would miss him. Little did he know just how many people loved him and how many hearts are filled with tears, heartache and guilt toed off with love. I'm so thankful now I have a different outlook. If you know of someone who is strugggling offer an ear, listen to what they have to say, it may just save thier life. I miss my friends son, and I hate seeing the pain and heartache they are suffering. I'm reaching out to anyone who thinks about riding the long black train, please seek help, you are loved and will be missed. Bless all the hearts struggling lord, they need your help. " IM MEMORY OF A FRIEND WHO IS MISSED AND LOVED DEARLY. ❤❤💔💔💔✝️✝️✝️✝️

My pappy used to sing this. I love this song.

I still remember right before he sang this song at a concert I yelled love you josh turner and he said love you to

This song reminds me too just stay positive and believe in God and everything will be alright

Josh, im so glad, you have jesus in your heart, beautiful song❤

And I know that God will always have my back no matter what

A song that can save..

hi chihuahua Josh is a hunk with a voice to die for.

Oh my. I'm 67 years old, and I am in love with Josh Turner and his voice!!! I so relate to this song!

Every time I hear him sing this it is more powerful. Fantastic job

I love this song ..GOD BLESS YOU JOSH

One of the finest ( if not the FINEST) of all country music 🌟 Josh Turner' smooth baritone voice, his written "inspirational" lyrics! A profoundly heart & soul stirring song. NEVER become tired of this immortal song. Thank You Josh Turner 🙏✝️🙏

My favorite song long black 🖤 train so sad 😭 make tears in my eyes love it ❤️

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whomever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life. 🙏⛪

One of the most beautiful voices of all time

Where’d this Josh go and if I had a dollar for every Joshua I knew and never had a problem with I’d be rich today makes me wonder about what is that name Yeshua
