The Old Gospel Ship (C)

1. I have good news to bring,

And that is why I sing,

All my joys with you I’ll share,

I’m going to take a trip,

In the old gospel ship,

And go sailing through the air.

 

2. Oh, I can scarcely wait,

I know I’ll not be late,

For I’ll spend my time in pray’r,

And when my ship comes in,

I will leave this world of sin,

And go sailing through the air.

 

3. If you’re ashamed of me,

You have no cause to be,

For with Christ I am an heir,

If too much fault you find,

You will sure be left behind,

While I go sailing through the air.

 

Chorus: Oh, I’m gonna take a trip,

In the good old gospel ship,

I’m going far beyond the sky,

Oh, I’m gonna shout and sing,

Until the heavens ring,

When I’m bidding this world good-bye.
