I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing, until the bells do ring When I'm sailing through the sky If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be And you better have a care If too much fault you find, you'll sure be left behind When I'm sailing through the air I can hardly wait, I know I won't be late I'll spend all my time in prayer And when my ship comes in, I'll leave this world of sin And go sailing through the air I have good new to bring and that is why I sing All my joys with you I will share I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship And go sailing through the air I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky I'm gonna shout and sing, until the bells do ring When I'm sailing through the sky
