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 that old gospel ship, And go sailing through the air. <Chorus>: I'm gonna take a trip in that old gospel ship, I'm going far beyond the sky. I'm gonna shout and sing 'til the bell done ring, When I bid this world goodbye. I can hardly wait, I know I won't be late, I'll spend my time in prayer. And when the ship comes in, I'll leave this world of sin, And go sailing through the air. <Chorus> If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be, And you'd better have a care. If too much fault you find, you will sure be left behind, When I'm sailing through the air. <Chorus>
