Iris DeMent - The Old Gospel Ship lyrics

Well I have good news to bring And that is why I sing, All my joy with you I'll share. Well I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship, And go sailing through the air. Well I'm gonna take a trip In the good old gospel ship, I am going far beyond the sky. Well I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring, As I'm bidding this world goodbye. Oh I can scarcely wait And I know I'll not be late, For I spend my time in prayer. And when my ship comes in I will leave this world of sin, And go sailing through the air. Oh I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship, I am going far beyond the sky. Well I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring, As I'm bidding this world goodbye. If you're ashamed of me, You got no cause to be For with God, I am an heir. And if too much fault you find, You will sure be left behind, As I go sailing through the air. Well I'm gonna take a trip On the good old gospel ship, I am going far beyond the sky. Well I'm gonna shout and sing Until the heavens ring, As I'm bidding this world goodbye. As I'm bidding this world goodbye.
