	A
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

	E		A
sailing	through	the	air.

[chorus]:

	I'm	gonna	take	a	trip	in	that	old

gospel

ship,

I'm

going

far

beyond

the

	E	A
	sky.	I'm	gonna	shout	and	sing	'til	the

								E
	bell	done	ring,	When	I	bid	this	world

	good	bye.

A
I	can	hardly	wait,	I	know	I	won't	be	late,	I'll

				E		A
spend	my	time	in	prayer.	And	when	the	ship	comes

in,

I'll

leave

this

world

of

sin,

And

go

sailing

E		A
through	the	air.

[chorus]

		A
If	you	are	ashamed	of	me,	you	ought	not	to	be,

					E				A
And	you'd	better	have	a	care.	If	too	much	fault

you

find,

you

will

sure

be

left

behind,

When

I'm

	E		A
sailing	through	the	air.

Gospel Ship (Traditional)                         
                                                  
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.
