Lyrics

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
'Til Heaven rings
When I bid this world goodbye
I have good news to bring
And that is why I sing
All my joys with you, I'll share
I'm goin' 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
'Til Heaven rings
When I bid this world goodbye
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
'Til Heaven rings
When I bid this world goodbye
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 will 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
'Til Heaven rings
When I bid this world goodbye
