[1] I'm gonna take a trip in that old gospel ship
I'm goin' far beyond the [5] sky
[1] I'm gonna shout and sing until the heavens ring
When I bid this [5] world good-[1]-bye

I have good news to bring and that is why I sing
All my joys with you I'll share
I'm gonna take a trip in that old gospel ship
And go sailin' through the air

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 sailin' through the air
