Gospel Ship

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have the news to bring

And that is why I sing

All my joy with you I'll share

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship

And go sailin' through the air

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship

Goin' far beyond the sky

I'm gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring

When I bid this world goodbye

I can hardly wait

I know I won't be late

I'll spend my time in prayer

And when the ship comes in, I'll leave this world of sin

And go sailin' through the air

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship

Goin' far beyond the sky

I'm gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring

When I bid this world goodbye

If you are ashamed of me

You ought not to be

And you'd better have a care

If too much fault you find you'll sure be left behind

When I'm sailin' through the air

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship

Goin' far beyond the sky

I'm gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring

When I bid this world goodbye
