They say in the harbor of heaven Is a ship called the Gospel of Grace A glorious ship, that once made a trip Through the oceans of time and space She followed a star to a stable She carried the Child of the King And when she set sail So goes the tale All of the angels would sing
CHORUS: The Gospel of Grace is sailing What a glorious sight to behold Her heavenly banners are waving Her sails are covered with gold They say when a man looks upon her The glory will shine on his face For therell never be A ship on the sea Like the glorious Gospel of Grace
She sailed to the land of the lonely To the meek and the lowly she came And each one she passed From the first to the last Would never again be the same The voice of the Father had spoken A heavenly sign had come down And everyone knew His promise was true The heavens were filled with the sound
CHORUS
Then one day she sank to the bottom At a place called old rugged cross But the Child of the King, Now her captain Came sailing her back to the top And then as they sailed Off toward heaven He called out, Get ready my friends I must go away, but therell come a day I promise youll see Me again
And the Gospel of Grace will be sailing What a glorious sight well behold Her heavenly banners a waving Shes coming to carry us home For now we see through a glass darkly But then we will see face to face And as we climb aboard Well give thanks to the Lord For His glorious Gospel of Grace And as we climb aboard Well give thanks to the Lord
