Old Ship Of Zion Lyrics

She's a big old ship and she's sitting mighty low in the water cause she's been on her maiden voyage every since the day the blood of calvary bought her she's weathered violent storms some passengers jumped over board and drowned but she's not just some titanic she's the church and she ain't goin' down

Sail of old ship of zion brave what lurks in the cold dark night sail on old ship of zion till you see that beacon light sail on old ship of zion he's on board you're not alone sail on till you hear the captain say “lands in sight, you've made it home”

This ship was launched from a hill outside jerusalem caught a brand new gust of wind when she breezed through the upper room rode out a storm with a jail cell song at midnight what makes you think she's gonna sink in some modern day typhoon ?

Sail on old ship of zion he's on board, you're not alone sail on ‘til you hear the captain say “lands in sight, you've made it home”.

Sail on old ship of zion sail on old ship of zion sail on old ship of zion he's on board i can't wait to hear the captain say “church, you've made it home”.
