I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing till the heavens ring When I bid this world good-bye
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
I have good news to bring and that is why I sing All my joys with you I'll share I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship And go sailing through the air
I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing till the heavens ring When I bid this world good-bye
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
I can scarcely wait, I know I won't be late I'll spend my time in prayer And when the ship comes in I'll leave this world of sin And go sailing through the air
I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing till the heavens ring When I bid this world good-bye
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
If you are ashamed of me you ought not to be Yes, you'd better have a care If too much fault you find you'll sure be left behind While I'm sailing through the air
I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing till the heavens ring When I bid this world good-bye
