Flatt and Scruggs - Take Me In Your Lifeboat lyrics

Take me in the lifeboat, take me in the lifeboat It will stand the raging storm Take me in the lifeboat, take me in the lifeboat It will bear my spirit home Now, come brothers and sisters and don't fall asleep But pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep Fathers and mothers are praying so loud Saying Lord won't you take us in your lifeboat? Take me in the lifeboat, take me in the lifeboat It will stand the raging storm Take me in the lifeboat, take me in the lifeboat It will bear my spirit home The clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud The thunders are rolling, bursting the clouds They prayed to their ship mates for what they had done They took the dying Savior in their lifeboat
