It's not what we want up here, we just want God to have his way.
And I was trying to put some songs in that we didn't do last time,
that God's impressed it on my heart. _
I kind of omitted this one, but something's telling me to do it this morning.
We like the acapella numbers, we like old stuff.
This song actually is not as old as I thought it was.
It was written back in the 70s by a man named Conrad Cook.
_ But I love what it says, we like the old timey stuff, and
this falls in that category that you worship with us this morning.
We try to sing it for you, Old Ship of Zion.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I was _ standing on the _ banks of the _ river, _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ looking out _ by troubled _ _ sea,
[F#] _ _ _ _ when I [B] saw _ an old [F#m] ship that was [B] sailing. _ _ _ _
Is that the old ship of Zion _ [F#] I _ see?
_ _ _ _ Its _ hold was big _ and _ battered, _ _ _ _
from the _ storms of life I could see. _ _ _
The waves were rough, but that old [B] ship was _ sailing.
_ _ _ _ _ Is that the _ old ship of [F#] Zion _ I see? _ _ _
_ _ At [B] the stern [C#m]
of the [B] _ ship was a _ _ cactus,
_ _ [D#] _ _ and I could _ hear as he called out my [G#] _ _ _ _ _
name.
[B] Get on board, it's the old ship of Zion. _
_ _ _ _ It will _ never [F#] pass this way _ _
[B] _ again. _ _ _ _
Now as I step on _ board I'll be _ leaving _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] all my _ troubles and _ trials _ _ behind.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
I'll be _ safe _ with _ Jesus the [F#] _ [B] captain. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Sailing out [C] on the old ship of Zion. _ _ _ _ _ _
Sailing _ _ [D#] out on the [F#] old ship _ [F#] _ _ of _ _ _ _ _ [G#] Zion. _
