I have good new to bring and that is why I sing
All my joys with you I will share
I`m gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship
And go sailing through the air
Chorus
I`m gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship
I`m going far beyond the sky
I`m gonna shout and sing, until the bells do ring
When I`m sailing through the sky
If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be
And you better have a care
If too much fault you find, you`ll sure be left behind
When I`m sailing through the air
I can hardly wait, I know I won`t be late
I`ll spend all my time in prayer
And when my ship comes in, I`ll leave this world of sin
And go sailing through the air
