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