Sailing Toward Home

  D            G
I stood upon a sandy bank
        A7           D
Looking out upon the ocean
  G                      D
I watched the ships come safely in
   E             A     A7
To rest upon the shore
    D          A7      D
The friends of those a board her
     G        A7       D
Were gathered there to greet them
   G                D
It made me long for heaven
      A7                   D    G D
Where friends will part no more

    D              D7
I'm sailing toward home
       G           D
On the old ship of Zion
  G                 D
I see the lights up on the bank
  E               A7
A cross the misty foam
D      G        D
Angels guide my vessel
         G         A7     D
'Til I'm safe with in the harbor
G                A               D    G D
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home

    D                G
Now daddy sailed the seas of life
   A7                  D
He knew the storms I'd weather
   G            D                E              A
He told me of a savior who could chart my desti ny
    D              D7
The misty veil has lifted
          G       A7      D
And I can plainly see the harbor
    G                D
And daddy's standing on the bank
   A                 D
To smile and welcome me

    D              D7
I'm sailing toward home
       G           D
On the old ship of Zion
  G                 D
I see the lights up on the bank
  E               A
A cross the misty foam
D      G        D
Angels guide my vessel
         G         A7     D
'Til I'm safe with in the harbor
G                A               D
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home

   G                A               D
Oh Captain guide my ship 'til I get home
