They say in the harbor of heaven
Is a ship called the Gospel of Grace
A glorious ship, that once made a trip
Through the oceans of time and space
She followed a star to a stable
She carried the Child of the King
And when she set sail
So goes the tale
All of the angels would sing
CHORUS:
The Gospel of Grace is sailing
What a glorious sight to behold
Her heavenly banners are waving
Her sails are covered with gold
They say when a man looks upon her
The glory will shine on his face
For there'll never be
A ship on the sea
Like the glorious Gospel of Grace
She sailed to the land of the lonely
To the meek and the lowly she came
And each one she pa**ed
From the first to the last
Would never again be the same
The voice of the Father had spoken
A heavenly sign had come down
And everyone knew
His promise was true
The heavens were filled with the sound
CHORUS
Then one day she sank to the bottom
At a place called old rugged cross
But the Child of the King,
Now her captain
Came sailing her back to the top
And then as they sailed
Off toward heaven
He called out, Get ready my friends
I must go away, but there'll come a day
I promise you'll see Me again
And the Gospel of Grace will be sailing
What a glorious sight we'll behold
Her heavenly banners a waving
She's coming to carry us home
For now we see through a gla** darkly
But then we will see face to face
And as we climb aboard
We'll give thanks to the Lord
For His glorious Gospel of Grace
And as we climb aboard
We'll give thanks to the Lord
For His glorious Gospel of Grace
