The Old Gospel Ship

O I’m gonna take a trip
In the good Old Gospel Ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
O I’m gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I’m bidding this world goodbye

I have good news to bring and that is why I sing
All my joys with you I’ll share
I plan to take a trip in the Good Old Gospel Ship
And go sailing thru the air

O I’m gonna take a trip
In the good Old Gospel Ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
O I’m gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I’m bidding this world goodbye

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 thru the air

O I’m gonna take a trip
In the good Old Gospel Ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
O I’m gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I’m bidding this world goodbye
While I’m bidding this world goodbye
