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 good old gospel ship
And go sailing through the air
Oh I'm gonna take a trip
in the good old gospel ship
I'm going far beyond the sky
Oh I'm gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I'm bidding this
world goodbye
If you're ashamed of me
You have no cause to be
For with Christ I am an heir
If too much fault you find
You will surely be left behind
While I'm sailing through the air
Oh I'm gonna take a trip
in the good old gospel ship
I'm going far beyond the sky
Oh I'm gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I'm bidding this
world goodbye
Oh I can scarcely wait
I know I'll not be late
For I'll spend my time in prayer
And when my ship comes in
I'll leave this world of sin
And go sailing through the air
Oh I'm gonna take a trip
in the good old gospel ship
I'm going far beyond the sky
Oh I'm gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I'm bidding this
world goodbye
Oh I'm gonna take a trip
in the good old gospel ship
I'm going far beyond the sky
Oh I'm gonna shout and sing
Until the heavens ring
While I'm bidding this
world goodbye
While I'm bidding this
world goodbye
Goodbye
