The Old Gospel Ship

[Verse 1]

I have good news to bring

And that is why I sing

All my joys with you, I will share

Well, I'm gonna take a trip

On the old gospel ship

And go sailing through the air

[Chorus]

Well, I'm gonna take a trip

In the good old gospel ship

I am going far beyond the sky

Well, I'm gonna shout and sing

Until heavens ring

As I'm bidding this world goodbye

[Verse 2]

Oh, I can scarcely wait

And I know I'll not be late

For I spend my time in prayer

And when my ship comes in

I will leave this world of sin

And go sailing through the air

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm gonna take a trip

On the good old gospel ship

I am going far beyond the sky

Well, I'm gonna shout and sing

Until heaven's ring

As I'm bidding this world goodbye

[Verse 3]

If you are ashamed of me

You've got no cause to be

For we've got an [?]

And if too much fault you find

You'll sure be left behind

I'll go sailing through the air

[Chorus]

Well, I'm gonna take a trip

On the good old gospel ship

I am going far beyond the sky

Well, I'm gonna shout and sing

Until the heavens ring

As I'm bidding this world goodbye

As I'm bidding this world goodbye
