(Chorus) I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing until the bell goes ring And I bid this world goodbye
I have good news to bring and this is why I sing All my joys with you I'll share I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship And go sailing through the air (Chorus)
I can hardly wait I know I won't be late I'll spend all my time in prayer And when that ship comes in - well I'll leave this world of sin And go sailing through the air (Chorus)
If you're ashamed of me you ought not to be And you better take some care If too much fault you find - I'm sure you'll be left behind While I'm sailing through the air (Chorus)
