Well, I have good news to bring And that is why I sing All my joy with you I'll share Well, I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship And go sailing through the air Well, I'm gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship I am going far beyond the sky Well, I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring As I'm bidding this world goodbye Oh, I can scarcely wait And I know I'll not be late For I spend my time in prayer And when my ship comes in I will leave this world of sin And go sailing through the air Oh, I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship I am going far beyond the sky Well, I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring As I'm bidding this world goodbye If you're ashamed of me You got no cause to be For with God, I am an heir And if too much fault you find You will sure be left behind As I go sailing through the air Well, I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship I am going far beyond the sky Well I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring As I'm bidding this world goodbye As I'm bidding this world goodbye
