Old Ship of Zion
Sweet Honey in the Rock

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.
