Gospel Ship

I [C]have good news to bring, and [F]that is why I [C]sing
All my joy with you I will [G7]share
I'm [C]gonna take a trip on that [F]old Gospel [C]Ship
And go sailin' [G7]through the [C]air
I'm [F]gonna take a trip on that [C]old gospel ship;
I'm going far beyond the [G7]sky.
I'm [C]gonna shout and sing, [F]until heavens [C]ring,
when I bid this old [G7]world [C]goodbye
If you are ashamed of me, you have no cause to be
and you had better have some care
If only fault you find, you'll will be left behind
When I go sailing through the air.
If you look up to the sky, you'll see me passing by
there is no telling where I will be
My friends and family passed, I'll be with them at last
and all my furry friends are with me.
This ship will sail away, beyond land night and day.
I am going far beyond the sky
I will jump up and down, and dance to that happy sound
when I bid this old world goodbye.

Never more will I have to know
All the loneliness that plagues me so
chorus

Waiting for my ship to come
I know where she's coming from
Glory bound upon the star board tack
On the final run I won't be looking back.

Will There Be Any Stars?

[G]I am thinking today of that [C]beautiful land
I shall [D7]reach when the sun goeth [G]down;
When through wonderful grace, by my [C]Savior I stand,
Will there [D7]be any stars in my [G]crown?
[G]Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown,
When at evening the sun goeth [D7]down?
When I [G]wake with the blest, In those [C]mansions of rest,
Will there [G]be any [D7]stars in my [G]crown.
In the strength of the Lord, let me labor and pray,
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day,
When His praise like the sea billows roll.
Oh what joy will it be, when His face I behold,
Living gems at His feet to lay down;
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,
Should there be any stars in my crown.

The rose is blooming there for me
Where the soul of man never dies
And I will spend eternity
Where the soul of man never dies
The love light beams across the foam
Where the soul of man never dies
It shines and lights the way to home
Where the soul of man never dies
softly
My life will end in deathless sleep
Where the soul of man never dies
And everlasting joys I'll reap
Where the soul of man never dies.

D G
Brightly beams our Father's mercy
E7 A7
From His lighthouse evermore
D G
But to us He gives the keeping
D A7 D
Of the lights along the shore
G D
Let the lower lights be burning
E7 A7
Send a gleam across the wave
D G
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
D A7 D
You may rescue you may save
Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching longing
For the lights along the shore
Trim your feeble lamp my brother
some poor sailor, tempest tossed
trying now to make the harbor
in the darkness, may be lost

And helpful try to be
Ever knowing there'll be some friend
Who will sing one song for me.

Tell me who will sing for me?

To [Em]my imm[D7]ortal h[G]ome
I know I'm near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear;
I hear the waves on Jordan's banks,
The crossing must be near.
I've almost reached my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings.

Chorus:[F] Oh, what are they doing in [C] heaven todayWhere sin and sorrow are [G] all gone away[C] Peace abounds like a [F] river they sayOh, [C] what are they [G] doing there [C] now?
There’s some whose minds were burdened with careThey paid for their moment with fighting and tearsBut they clung to the cross in trembling and fearOh, what are they doing there now?And there’s some whose bodies were full of diseasePhysicians and doctors couldn’t give them much easeThey suffered ‘til death brought a final releaseOh, what are they doing there now?There’s some who were poor and often despisedThey looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyesWhile others were heedless and deaf to their criesOh, what are they doing there now?

I'll Fly Away
03:12
|
|

|
Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

Life's Railway to Heaven
04:55
|

1 Life is [E]like [B7]a mountain [E]railway[E7]
With an [A]engineer that’s [E]brave[E7]
You must [A]make the run [E]successful,
From the [F#7]cradle to the [B7]grave;
Watch the [E]curves, [B7]the fills, [E]the tunnels[E7]
Never [A]falter, never [E]quail[E7]
Keep your [A]hand upon the [E]throttle,
And your [B7]eye upon the [E]rail.
Blessed [A]Savior, Thou wilt [E]guide us,
Till we reach the [F#7]blissful [B7]shore,
Where the [E]angel- [E7]s wait to [A]join us
In Thy [E]praise [B7]forever [E]more.
2 You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor
On this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
[Refrain]
3 You will often find obstructions,
Look for storms and wind and rain;
On a curve, or fill or trestle
They will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust in the conductor,
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
[Refrain]
4 As you roll along the mainline,
There'll be storms and there'll be strife.
There'll be sidetracks unexpected
On the left and on the right.
But with the straight always before you
And your heart upon the prize
There'll be no disembarkations
Until you reach Paradise.
[Refrain]
5 As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide;
There you’ll meet the Sup’rintendent,
God the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
“Weary pilgrim, welcome home.”
[Refrain]

I Saw The Light
02:31
|
|
||
|
[E]I wandered so aimless my life filled with [E7]sin
[A]I wouldn't let my dear savior [E]in
[E]And then he came like a stranger in the night
[E]Praise the Lord [B7]I saw the [E]light.
[E]I saw the light, I saw the [E7]light
[A]No more darkness, no more [E]night
[E]Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
[E]Praise the Lord, [B7]I saw the [E]light.
[E]Just like a blind man I wandered [E7]alone
[A]Worries and fears I claimed for my [E]own
[E]Then like the blind man who God gave back his sight
[E]Praise the Lord [B7]I saw the [E]light.
{comment:(Repeat Chorus)}
[E]I was a fool to wander and [E7]stray
[A]For straight is the gate and narrow the [E]way
[E]Now I have traded the wrong for the right
[E]Praise the Lord [B7]I saw the [E]light.

My Anchor Holds
04:36
|
|
||
|
Though the angry surges roll
On my tempest-driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
Wildly though the winds may blow,
I’ve an anchor safe and sure,
That can evermore endure.
Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.
Mighty tides about me sweep,
Perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o’ershade the sky,
And the tempest rises high;
Still I stand the tempest’s shock,
For my anchor grips the rock.
I can feel the anchor fast
As I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen,
Bears the heavy strain between;
Through the storm I safely ride,
Till the turning of the tide.
Troubles almost ’whelm the soul;
Griefs like billows o’er me roll;
Tempters seek to lure astray;
Storms obscure the light of day:
But on my ship can be bold,
I’ve an anchor that shall hold.

[G]I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A [C]COLD AND CLOUDY [G]DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
FOR TO CARRY [D7]MY MOTHER [G]AWAY.
[G]LORD, I TOLD THAT UNDERTAKER,
UNDER[C]TAKER PLEASE DRIVE [G]SLOW
FOR THIS BODY THAT YOU ARE HAULING
LORD, I HATE TO [D]SEE HER [G]GO.
[G]I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER
TRIED TO [C]HOLD UP AND BE [G]BRAVE
BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW
WHEN THEY LAID HER [D]IN THE [G]GRAVE.
[G]I WENT HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY
NOW MY [C]MOTHER SHE WAS [G]GONE
ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING
WHAT A HOME SO [D]SAD AND [G]ALONE
[G]WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND [C]BYE LORD, BYE AND [G]BYE,
THERE'S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, [D]IN THE [G]SKY.
