(traditional; adapted by Tom Smith) I have good news to bring And that is why I sing All my joy with you I'll share I plan to take a trip In the old gospel ship And go sailing through the air… Oh I shall take a trip In the old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh I shall shout and sing Until the heavens ring While I'm bidding this world goodbye Oh I can scarcely wait I know I'll not be late For I spend my time in prayer And when my ship comes in I'll leap in front of it And go sailing through the air… Oh I shall take a trip In the old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh I shall shout and sing Until the heavens ring While I'm bidding this world goodbye If Judas came to me You'd have to torture me For in Christ I am an heir If it's too talk you'll find You'll sure be left behind While I go sailing through the air Oh I shall take a trip In the old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky Oh I shall shout and sing Until heavens the ring While I'm bidding this world goodbye
