歌詞: Sweet Honey in the Rock. Raise Your Voice. Old Ship of Zion.

I was standing on the banks of the river
Looking out over life?s troubled sea
When I saw that ole ship that was sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see.

Its hull was bent and battered
From the storms of life I could see
Waves were rough but that ole ship kept sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see.

At the stern of the ship stood the captain

I could hear as he called out my name
Get on board it?s the ole ship of Zion
It will never pass this way again

As I step on board I?ll be leaving
All my sorrows and heartaches behind
I?ll be safe with Jesus the captain
Sailing out on the ole ship of Zion.
