the old gospel ship

i'm gonna take a trip

in the old gospel ship;

i'm going far beyond the sky. i'm gonna shout and sing

until heavens ring

when i bidding this world goodbye. if you are ashamed of me

you have no cause to be

for with christ i am an air

when my ship comes in

i will leave this world of sin

and go sailing through the air

i am gonna take a trip

on the old gospel ship

i am going far beyond the sky

oh i am gonna shout and sing

until heavens ring

when i bid this world goodbye

ohhh and if you look up toward the sky

you might see me passing by

there is no telling

no telling where i will be

and you will not have to wait no more

cause it is too for you i am on board

and they told me we all that is free

ohhh i am gonna take a trip

on the old gospel ship

i am going far beyond the sky

and i shout and sing

until heavens bring

when i bid this all world goodbye

the ship will make no stops

and on board there will be no cops

we are going far beyond the sky

hey we all jump up and down

and dance till that happy sound

let's bid this world goodbye

i am gonna take a trip

on the old gospel ship

i am going far beyond the sky

the sky

i am gonna shout and sing

until heavens bring

when i bid this world goodbye

goodbye

i am gonna take a trip

on the old gospel ship

i am going far beyond the sky

i am gonna shout and sing

until heavens bring

when i bid this world goodbye
