Verse #1: I was lost in sin and sorrow on an isle in life's dark sea When I saw far in the distance there a ship it seemed to be Then I saw the Captain beckon, He cried so loud and free “My child, I’ve come to save you. Step on board and follow me”
Chorus: ‘Tis the old ship of Zion, 'Tis the old ship of Zion, 'Tis the old ship of Zion I got on board, early one morning I got on board.
Verse #2: There ain’t no danger in the water There ain’t no danger in the water. There ain’t no danger in the water I got on board early one morning. I got on board. -snip-
