I’ve got good news to bring

In that good old gospel ship
D G
And go sailing through the air

In the old gospel ship

Going far beyond the sky

I'm gonna shout and sing
C G
Until all Heavens ring
D G
When I bid this world goodbye

I can hardly wait
C G
I know I’ll not be late

I'm gonna leave this world of sin

And go sailing through the air

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’ll surely be left behind

When I'm sailing through the air
