1. The Old Gospel Ship

2. I'm a gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh, I'm a gonna shout and sing Until all the Heavens ring When I’m bidding this world goodbye

3. I have good news to bring And that is why I sing All my joys with you I‘ll share I'm a going to take a trip In the good old gospel ship And go sailing thru the air.

4. I'm a gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh, I'm a gonna shout and sing Until all the Heavens ring When I’m bidding this world goodbye

5. Oh, I can scarcely wait I know I’ll not be late For I’ll spend my time in prayer And when my ship comes in I will leave this world of sin And go sailing thru the air

6. I'm a gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh, I'm a gonna shout and sing Until all the Heavens ring When I’m bidding this world goodbye

7. 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.

8. I'm a gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh, I'm a gonna shout and sing Until all the Heavens ring When I’m bidding this world goodbye
