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. Refrain: 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. Refrain: 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. [Break] 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. Refrain: 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.
