Iris Dement - The Old Gospel Ship lyrics

rate me

I have good new to bring

And that is why I sing,

All my joys with you I will save.

Well I'm gonna take a trip

On the old gospel ship

And go sailing through the air.

Refrain:

Well I'm gonna take a trip

On the old gospel ship;

I'm going far beyond the sky.

Well I'm gonna shout and sing,

Until heavens bring,

That's I'm bidding this world goodbye.

Refrain:

Oh I can scarecely wait,

I know I'll not be late.

For I'll spend all my time in prayer

And when my ship comes in,

I will leave this world of sin

And go sailing through the air.

Refrain:

Well I'm gonna take a trip

On the old gospel ship;

I'm going far beyond the sky.

Well I'm gonna shout and sing,

Until heavens bring,

As I'm bidding this world goodbye.

If you are ashamed of me,

You've got no cause to be

What we've got, I ain't ???

It's too much fault you find,

You'll sure be left behind,

I'll go sailing through the air.

Refrain:

Well I'm gonna take a trip

On the old gospel ship;

I'm going far beyond the sky.

Well I'm gonna shout and sing,

Until heavens bring,

As I'm bidding this world goodbye.

As I'm bidding this world goodbye.
