Take Me in Your Lifeboat

1 4 1
Take me in your lifeboat take me in your life boat
5
It will stand the raging storm
1 4 1
Take me in your lifeboat take me in your life boat
5 1
It will bear my spirit home
 

Now come brothers and sisters and don’t fall asleep
We’ll pray night and day or we’ll sink in the deep
Fathers and mothers are prayin’ so well
Then Lord won’t you take me in your lifeboat

The clouds are so heavy the winds are so loud
The thunder’s a-rollin’ and burstin’ in the clouds
They pray to their sinner mates for what they have done
They took the dyin’ sinner in their lifeboat
