Sweet Honey In The Rock - Old Ship of Zion lyrics

I was standing on the banks of the river Looking out over life?s troubled sea When I saw that ole ship that was sailing Is that the ole ship of Zion I see Its hull was bent and battered From the storms of life I could see Waves were rough but that ole ship kept sailing Is that the ole ship of Zion I see At the stern of the ship stood the captain I could hear as he called out my name Get on board it?s the ole ship of Zion It will never pa** this way again As I step on board I?ll be leaving All my sorrows and heartaches behind I?ll be safe with Jesus the captain Sailing out on the ole ship of Zion
