THE MIGHTY SHIP I SAIL

I drove down the highway
on my way into town.
Lights ahead were flashing
and rain was pouring down.
I slammed down on the brakes
my car began to roll.
Down a steep embankment
flipping out of control.

(Chorus)
You're going home to Heaven
there's a new life you await.
I'll guide you through your travels
enroute to The Pearly Gate.
You'll make this final journey
o'er the vast and distant vale.
You're going home to Heaven
on the mighty Ship I sail.

I'm trapped in the wreckage
oh! Lord, I cannot move.
Beneath the auto's frame
I'm pinned inside a groove.
I hear myself weeping
as I try to move my arms.
"Dear God," I cry, "protect me
please shield me from all harm."

(Chorus)
You're going home to Heaven
there's a new life you await.
I'll guide you through your travels
enroute to The Pearly Gate.
You'll make this final journey
o'er the vast and distant vale.
You're going home to Heaven
on the mighty Ship I sail.

Blind from fire, the burning tears
trickle down my face.
I close my eyes and yield
my soul to God's embrace.
The wreck upon the highway
has stolen my life away.
Then I heard Him whisper
I heard my Jesus say,

(Chorus)
You're going home to Heaven
there's a new life you await.
I'll guide you through your travels
enroute to The Pearly Gate.
You'll make this final journey
o'er the vast and distant vale.
You're going home to Heaven
on the mighty Ship I sail.

You're going home to Heaven
there's a new life you await.
I'll guide you through your travels
enroute to The Pearly Gate.
You'll make this final journey
o'er the vast and distant vale.
You're going home to Heaven
on the mighty Ship I sail.

You're going home to Heaven
on the mighty Ship I sail.
